China this week also executed a top official for approving unsafe drugs.
Translation: We execute our corrupt bureaucrats. What do you do to yours?

Let them eat rice and we will keep the meat here.
Well, in the long term this might, (MIGHT) be good for Americans.
Watch Biden go ballistic once again in coming week.
Blast from the past:
THE GLOBAL CLASS: BUSH LEGS
By Joseph Fitchett International Herald Tribune
Thursday, April 25, 2002
Overshadowed by the trans-Atlantic trade clash over steel, the U.S. “chicken war” with Moscow, say Washington insiders, has already done real damage. Washington was stunned last month when officials of the Russian Agriculture Ministry suddenly banned the import of nozhki Busha — chicken legs that are a popular morsel in Russians’ diet. They are named for the former president George Bush, who saw drumsticks improving economic ties with Moscow in the early 1990s. Russia now consumes two-thirds of U.S. chicken exports, a $600 million market. Even so, it might have been routine business when Russian officials charged that the frozen chickens were riddled with salmonella. But imagine who got hopping mad? Senator Joe Biden, normally a free trader, but also a Democratic senator from Delaware, a nest of chicken farmers. He happens to be chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A frantic Bush administration quickly discovered that Moscow had been blindsided by what U.S. officials see as a corrupt operation involving two Russian ministries and influential local poultry producers. Top-level parleys eventually restored the trade, with Russia sending inspectors to American poultry plants. But the timing of the monthlong wrangle was politically fatal to administration hopes, led by the U.S. trade representative, Robert Zoellick, of getting the Senate to repeal the Jackson-Vanick amendment, a Cold War-era law that crippled Russia’s trading potential.
Sooooo, they don’t want to import QUALITY U.S. products?
Fine. Ban EVERYTHING made in China, from A to Z.
The resulting market demand will mean more jobs for Americans, and as an added benefit, Mexicans can stay home (or go home) as the illegal job market dries up.
And as a P.S. to Beijing, inform them that Taiwan will be receiving “most favored nation” trading status because they “DON’T BUILD JUNK!”
Screw those ChiComs and the paper mache dragon they rode in on.
Treating the free market as if it were a diplomatic tit-for-tat. They are on the wrong side of the balance of trade for that to have any impact. Read the WSJ, China, you have a brand problem. Made in China will be as reviled as Made in Japan was in the 50’s. Japan fixed their quality problem; will you?
But - what about all the starving kids in China?
Chinese officials were outraged when they found out that the American products contained actual meat.
Good- now maybe the demand will go down a little here, and we can pay just a tad less for our meat. The beef growers are being driven out of business with rules and regs every day of the week. Soon there won’t be enough beef,period.
Flock them feces eating commies..
Shut off ALL chicom imports NOW!
LLS
Just wait until Steinbrenner(sp) gets word that Costanza is responsible for this!
Chicken feet supplied by Sanderson Farms had growth enhancers and anti-parasite drugs, it said.
Awe man! I HATE growth enhancers in my Chicken Feet!

Oh, I forgot, add a dash of Islam too. Don't here much of it, but the Chinese have a Muslim problem like everyone else. A trade war is the last thing Huo (sp) wants.
