China says US soybeans unsafe (oh, brother)

Indeed. Didn’t mean to honk out my creds for purposes other than emphasis of the veracity of my statement...

[steel_resolve]

another pathetic attempt by the whining children of China to deflect richly deserved criticism of their dangerous, poisonous exports.

[Scythian]

The Truth is they are unsafe, almost all soybeans are using AgroBacterium and Bt, these are GMO’s that generate their own pesticides and allow them to spray the fields with round-up. American crops are dangerous, AgroBacterium has been proven to make the plant - animal kingdom jump, it is being discovered in Morgellons patients ...

We need to really fix this problem. Stop shipping to China. Then they won’t have any complaints.

‘safety problems with imports of US soybeans’

I guess there could be safety issues if they ‘import’ them up the nose.

[MarkL]

No big deal. Those farmers will be planting corn for sale to the ethanol plants next season, so soybean exports to China are sort of a moot point... I wonder where China’s going to get their Tofu...

The lead content in the soybeans wasn’t up to their usual high standards?

LOL !

[mrsmel]

Well then China, quit importing US foodstuffs. Feed yourselves. Ohh what's that? you CAN'T?? Why is that? Because you've polluted all your land, rivers streams and lakes? But why would you do that? Because it's the anti western thing to do?

Well then too bad for you. (psst! next time before you appear on T.V. cut that big tumor off your face)

Yea, and your mother wears army boots!!! So there. Na na na na na.

That guitar player looks like a young Bob Dylan.

I doubt that Johnson weed seeds are toxic at all, especially in the minute quantities that may be present in soy bean shipments. Besides, here, all grains and beans lentils etc are screened and cleaned before processed anyways. I guess the Chinese don't bother with that step. They process it all, bugs'n all; then and add a bit of lead and formaldehyde for good measure- then ship it back to the USA!

It's so nice of the Chinese to inform us of a potential problem with bad soy beans. This should prompt the FDA to issue a recall of all processed soy products, and products containing soy derivatives shipped from China. It may be contaminated.

“It detailed a series of safety problems, including the discovery of sorghum halepense and other exotic harmful weeds among the soybeans.”

How much you want to bet the deal was Chinese Importers would be responsible for the costs to clean up the beans to avoid the extra nickels of having them cleaned here?

“On Monday, China said it had returned 272 heart pacemakers imported from the United States after they failed quality inspections.”

Probably made in China, shipped to the U.S. for attaching the label, then shipped back to China.

I’m having a cynical moment.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

That was Dylan in 1998. (Don’t know if 57 qualifies for “young”, but ask me again in 10 years and I’ll surely say yes.)

[Nathan Zachary]

Or, it was one of the components of the pacemaker made in China to begin with that is faulty.

[Duke Nukum]

This seems like a move designed to rattle soy bean growers and get them to get law makers like Lindsey Graham to let China poison our pets and children and the rest of us.

[skeeter]

Next China can return all those defective US patents they’ve, ahem, acquired.
