The problem is the TV networks love a crisis and people will always
latch onto a way to bash China.
And exactly what's wrong with bashing China? You sound as though
you might be one that makes money from China's imports? Could that
be the case?

I have no problem with bashing China but it shouldn't automatically
be a reason to panic Americans across the country about a problem
that has really only been demonstrated in a few houses built by
Lennar over a very short period of time in Cape Coral Florida.
It is like that tomato scare that had millions of pounds of tomatoes
thrown away over a problem that may have just been one shipment of
tomatoes carried in one dirty truck.

I think the press in many countries loves to stir up
hysteria in the dumb masses. Unfortunately those same
dumb masses vote, so the government will often resort
to some extremely asinine measures to assuage he fears
of those same dumb masses. Asinine = expensive for all.

A sound call.
