I don’t care what the chinese have to say. I’m not buying any food products they produce.
What's there to discuss beyond, "stop poisoning us"?
I really don’t care. I still won’t buy food that comes from China. I just purchased a tire for my flatbed trailer that I haul my tractor on. Most tires for trailers seem to come from China. The guy at the tire store said it’s getting harder and harder to get American made tires. I purchased a Goodyear tire even though it cost $20.00 more.
At the lead-in we have this:
BEIJING - China and the U.S. will meet at the end of July to discuss the safety of China's seafood exports, an official said Wednesday, while news reports said tires that were the subject of a huge U.S. recall were found to meet American safety standards.
Then we find later in the article that it was China that has "found" the tires meet US standards:
... Hangzhou Zhongce has denied supplying faulty products.
"The tires mentioned in the report which FTS submitted ... meet or even exceed the U.S. quality safety standards," Hangzhou Zhongce said in a statement released Wednesday. "Zhongce is fully cooperating ... and expecting a proper and correct decision."
Then we have this little bit of fluff:
On Wednesday, the State Council, China's Cabinet, arranged a rare trip to a juice-processing plant and a quality control inspection center for domestic and foreign journalists _ a sign leaders are keen on promoting a good and open image.
Well, isn't that special!!
The AP really, really has their nose far up China's hindquarters.
Nice bunch of folks those Chinese. Which by the way is one of the reasons I refuse to eat Korean food, don't like my food barking at me.
No more Chinese food for me.
I have heard gossip that Red China has lobbyists out in full force on this issue.
