Much of it comes from deep-rooted imperial mindset of China.

China struggles with its global reputation

What global reputation, other than they half-ass build cheap junk, will cut every corner they can and if it lasts a week it's exceptional. OH, if it doesn't look good cover with lead paint.

We are weak at dealing with diverse nongovernmental entities.

We can see this from the standard answers coming from Chinese government regarding the recall: they accuse the Western media is in bed with their government to protect Western economy. It's really using their own model of government-media relationship on other countries.

Here’s the solution to lead paint from China: When a ship arrives, test 6 toys. If any of them have too much lead in the paint, reject the whole ship. The problem will stop immediately — and yeah, it’s been done before. Not by us, but it’s been done to us...

China’s main distinction is that it’s the largest slave state on Earth. Without its inexhaustible supply of slave labor (and those foreign investors willing to exploit it), China would never have the economic status it now enjoys. But it’s also far too corrupt to engage in trade responsibly and that’s coming home to roost. Go figure, but people just aren’t willing to pay for the privilege of being poisoned.

I think it is fair trade.

China sends us toxic products and we send them toxic dollars.


BUMP
