Not being an expert on paint by any stretch … wouldn’t it be cheaper for the Chinese to paint things with lead free paint (lead cost money)? What is the advantage in including lead in their paint? Durability perhaps?

my Chinese friends in Hong Kong and Canton Province are very wary of the foods and medicines that they purchase, they go to great lengths to obtain quality.

In one of Shenzen China’s finest hotels, used mostly by foreigners — one of the few offerings that wasn’t counterfeit, fake, diluted or falsely advertised was the women...

This is from observation by a skilled professional observer, not indulging.
Okay?

Also, we would NOT eat at the hotel..
We followed our Japanese business partners advice and only ate food imported and prepared by Japanese staff at their manufacturing facility.... This was in the same cafeteria the Japanese provided for their Chinese manufacturing staff..

We followed this procedure until returning to Hong Kong, where some of the best restaurants in the world can be found..

My daughter was in Beijing 6 years ago. She says that the pollution is almost beyond belief. The air looks like San Francisco fog, only it’s NOT fog. Yuck.

China should dust off the old Schlitz case study we reviewed in a business class. Classic example of trashing a brand.

And in Dongguan, a boom city in the southern province of Guangdong, authorities recently smashed a backyard beer brewry that was producing fake brand-name hooch using chemicals harmful to humans.

Wonder what that could be?

Well, you gotta figure a commie government that arms it’s own citizens wouldn’t want to give them good weapons. They’d end up looking down the barrels. :)

Ultimately it is Chinese acceptance of a counterfeiting culture that enables the practice to flourish and changing it could take generations.

Maybe a couple of generations. Global market forces will push its way into the Chinese economy. It slowly worked it's into Japan and then to Korea and Taiwan. I'm confident it will work it's way into China. It has to if China is to ever reach the level of producing products with cutting edge technology and quality. I'm confident they will.
