If you don't want to buy Chinese food products, by all means don't. That is the way the free market works - punish unreliable suppliers by not buying their goods.
And yes, I try to avoid Chinese products for the reliability issue. That doesn't mean I'm going to accuse them of trying to poison all their customers because some of their products are bad. There are bad/incompetent actors everywhere, even in Georgia in the good old U.S.A.
Common sense is a good thing.
“Making excuses for Americans is hypocritical, especially when raving hysterically against Chinese products. “
Whose making excuses? You’re the one introducing hyperbole to support you’re statement.
“There are bad/incompetent actors everywhere, “
In the case of China its not incompetence, its a complete lack of the quality and ethics systems. Thats a nationwide problem.
In this case you have one factory. If you can’t see the difference between a country without any quality systems in place and a single poorly run company than I’m wasting my time.
