I'm beginning to feel satisfied over the testing of almost everything
that comes from China. Their quality will eventually bankrupt the economy.

Where are the lawsuits BTW? If this were an American company the
proverbial Poop would be hitting the fan. And the Dems would be
screaming bloody murder for heads to roll!

Dear China,
Your turn is coming in the court room. Can you say "increased tariffs"?
No? How about "Fred Thompson"? There, see, that wasn't so hard.

NPR actually did a story on this very subject this morning, regarding the tainted pet food lawsuits. The short answer is that just proving that a Chinese company with no facilities on US soil and no assets in US banks is under the jurisdiction of US courts is a high, though not insurmountable obstacle. Then there's the fact that lawsuits tend to go after deep pockets, which a rinky dink, Walmart-supplying cheap jewelry factory in China isn't likely to have.
