Yes your editing is correct. Thanks the correction.
Be very, very careful with anything from China. They are bust exporting all kinds of poison.

It just doesn’t end.
imagine that... chocolate in ...Mexico of all places! why, next thing you know someone will start claiming that chocolatl actually comes from Mexico!
China poisons the world.
It's probably coming from China.
Who gives a crap about the integrity of the food or toothpaste supply?
I’m sure it will get the quality sanitary control that Mexico is so famous for. Like watering crops with sewage.
bump.
One quickly forms the opinion that quality control is not a strong point of Communist labor camps.
It’s bad enough that Chinese fasteners break way below specs, but who is the genius that thought up the idea of importing stuff from Communist countries that you put in your mouth.
We make a nice tooth powder using dry powdered clay, salt, baking soda, a few powdered herbs, and some drops of various essential oils. May start selling it - peppermint, wintergreen, and fennel flavors.
Tastes really good, cheap, really good for the teeth and gums. If you (or anyone) wants the recipe, freepmail me and I’ll freepmail it back and post it on the thread. An hour’s work to make enough for at least 6 months, costs a fraction of regular toothpaste (at least with the ingredients I get) and kids like it too.
These things aren't done in labor camps. The kind of stuff done there is generally breaking rocks and clearing forests. Chinese penal colonies are something that predates communism by a couple of thousand years. In the old days, convicts were branded with hot irons on their faces, like cattle stateside.
The fact is that in China, the practice of substituting inferior products for the real thing is being carried out in a legal environment that is so loose that in many cases, it isn't even illegal. Why was it so loose? Previously, nobody thought to worry about enacting such laws because the government used to be in charge of making everything. The opening of the Chinese economy to private businesses in the late 1970's changed all that. These days, unqualified but energetic entrepreneurs are testing their products by using small quantities on themselves, and then going to market if they don't get sick. The problem is inadequate Chinese regulation and corruption, not slave labor camps or a Chinese conspiracy to poison Panamanians. Or Jamaicans.
No land war, just walk away and stop trading with them.
I sure hope Duncan Hunter is able to get some name recognition as a result of this. He’s the only 2008 presidential candidate with a credible stance on these issues with China.
“Baking soda can be used as toothpaste.”
First wet the toothbrush with hydrogen peroxide, then dip it into the baking soda for the best dentifrice.
I also read somewhere that when someone (reporter, whatever) went to visit the factory it had been taken apart and everything removed.
So maybe it is not the Chinese government but one of their feudal generals. The government does not really control everything, party officials and generals practically run everything. They just pay the "juice" to the highest party officials.
It is a coalition than the various “mob” families that run Russia. Much like the crime families only with a large army and navy. The central government might not have decided to dry run us but some wacked out general or regional party official might have.
Why are we trading with people that do not share our common values in life?
Oh these feel good politicians should be made to serve time in the Red Chinese prisons!
