Not a good analogy. American companies bought product/ingredients from Chinese businesses.

My analogy was good enough for the point I was trying to make, that the sovereign in Red China is the Communist Chinese regime and that lying, stealing and cheating are standard operating procedure.

Null and Void's example of FDA inspectors being dismissed from chicken inspection meets the "on site inspectors" contention.

Differentiating between funding a project and buying a product is the point. You are comparing apples to oranges. The Chinese are another issue. Yes, lying cheating and stealing is their MO but yet America has strong economic entanglements. That's why funding research projects there should be heavily monitored or not done at all.
