How much more crap will Americans accept before they boycott or otherwise severely restrict the import of products made in China?
Forget about China’s rampant counterfeiting of virtually everything of value. Concentrate instead on its reckless disregard for the health of humans and domestic animals that consume its products.
China exported all 24 toys recalled in America last year. It also provided the ingredients for tons of tainted pet food recalled this year.
It manufactured the contaminated toothpaste, vitamins and frozen fish and dangerous tires recently taken from American store shelves.
Chinese societies past and present have honed the arts of fraud and deception, of bribery and corruption, of betrayal and deceit.
So why is America selling its economic soul to the Yellow Peril? Wal-Mart and dozens of other discount and high-end giants, that’s why.
Will the status quo prevail? Hey, do bears poop in the woods? (15 JULY 2007)
