From the NYT. What really worries me is, what don't we import from China? And what kind of poisons have they let slip by their crappy quality control?
How about food - check out this article form the Wash Post two years ago:
Dried apples preserved with a cancer-causing chemical.We shouldn't let a drop of food enter this country that's come from China. It's one thing to hope that my tshirt doesn't contain some poison, but food?
Frozen catfish laden with banned antibiotics.
Scallops and sardines coated with putrefying bacteria.
Mushrooms laced with illegal pesticides.
These were among the 107 food imports from China that the Food and Drug Administration detained at U.S. ports just last month, agency documents reveal, along with more than 1,000 shipments of tainted Chinese dietary supplements, toxic Chinese cosmetics and counterfeit Chinese medicines.
For years, U.S. inspection records show, China has flooded the United States with foods unfit for human consumption. And for years, FDA inspectors have simply returned to Chinese importers the small portion of those products they caught -- many of which turned up at U.S. borders again, making a second or third attempt at entry.
