If the Chi-coms crack down too hard on any of their ongoing problems it could throw millions more out of work, increase unrest -- already put at 70,000+ incidents a year -- and bring about revolution.
Do it, Comrades!
(I can't wait for all those American "free traders" who abhor government interference lining up around Washington asking for -- yes, government interference to cover their losses in Red China.)
....foreing importation of CHinese goods will start to dry up, especially as other smaller, less-industrialized nations start to ramp up their foreign export industries [i.e., Vietnam]
Elevator riders ought to wonder
if the car’s cables will break asunder.
Were they made here or over yonder
that is a point you ought’a ponder.
If you think Chicom products are cheap now, just wait, the prices will drop 50 percent even after the Yuan doubles against the dollar. 1929 redux.
China Protests U.S. Food and Drug Administration Warning
China has called a U.S. warning against using its toothpaste irresponsible. “The low levels of diethylene glycol (DEG) are not ‘extraordinarily harmful’ (the level required for recall under China’s regulations),” said Gwang Lai, China’s General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Minister.
Concerns about the toothpaste follow reports from Panama that attribute over 100 deaths to Chinese cough syrup containing DEG.
Gwang insisted that adding anti-freeze to toothpaste and other products was a “feature” rather than evidence of contamination. “DEG sweetens the taste and helps guard against freeze damage during the cooler months of the year,” Gwang said. “So far we have not reported any deaths resulting from using the toothpaste. The American alarmism is a hostile act against the People’s Republic of China.”

I read an article from Pittsburgh Tribune Review that said a lab in Texas has now found acetaminophen (A trade name is Tylenol)in cat & dog food.Highly toxic!! This is in addition to the cyanuric acid & melamine et al. They stated five known contaminates to date. I do cat rescue & I am in a panic. With 70 % or more of our vitamins/nutritional supplements coming from China, how do we know they are not making us and pets sick?? Even the taurine I might use in making cat food at home comes from China. We are in stranglehold to our eniemies in ME for oil. We are importing workers from south of border and now our food is coming from a country that intentionally adulterates our foods/supplements/drugs. We are in Serious trouble.
The pencil pushers at WalMart will finally get their commupance for destroying the vision of Sam Walton who demanded American Made products.
Aww, I feew so bad for the po’ wittow chicoms...Maybe if they lose enough money, they’ll be forced to abandon their genocidal campaign of crimes against humanity to destroy Tibet’s pristine, ancient culture. Good riddance, I look forward to seeing mobs lined up to piss on Mao’s ignoble bones.
Sounds like Australia is taking these issues seriously.
I've dealt with Chinese companies directly in three completely different industries: video chips, flooring products, and car parts. Their method is always the same: 1) Deny that there is a problem. 2) Blame the customer for causing the problem. 3) If eventually forced to admit that it's their problem, say that there's nothing they can do about it.
Better than average reasearch done for this story...
The comments from other Freepers show we are all becoming very aware...but no solutions are on the horizon...?
Thanks for the ping mom.
I, for one, would be real concerned about the quality control at the Three Gorges Dam...
AMEN.
Playing footsie with the biggest criminal cabal in the world is bad policy. We are ennabling this gang of thugs to run roughshod over the world economy.
It is m,y understanding that the US ( taxpayers) guarantee foreign investments by businesses. So if they go under, we get to give them the amount of their losses. It is a win win for corporations
China didn’t want to enable the entire capitalism package, so of course they have internal rot. But they have feathered dinosaurs.
LOL making lemonade from lemons I see. Some one should tell them we have heat during the winter in the US.
