As for the current thread on shoddy and toxic China made goods it will

before. It is product safety ignorance and not a conscious effort to

corrected. ...
Oh, really? Just simple ignorance?

That wouldn't seem to be the story of Zheng Xiaoyu...

Considering that the US trade is 232.5 billion dollars in China favor
for 2006, much more for this year, there must be a lot that is right.

There's clearly a lot that isn't as well, and to contend it is "only
ignorance" is such an obvious turning a blind eye as to make the attempt
to cover it over w/ statistics simply ludicrous.

It's nice to know Zheng was alone in paying himself and all is now well
and, like Iran has no individuals of a particular bent, China now has
now eliminated all traces of greed and corruption. That _is_ a
remarkable achievement in such a short period of time. I simply had no
idea how easy it would be.
