Recently with the pet food thing and now that substance has entered the human food chain in California at least in pork products through hog feed why won't China allow the FDA to inspect the sources of these materials?
Did you know that virtually ALL vitamin C and much of many other vitamins come from China.
Look at your kid's cereal...any vitamin C added to anything? Only 4 companies in China control most all of the world's vitamin C an in the last year a little price fixing (not illegal in the communist countries) jumped the price of raw vitamin C from $2 per kilogram to over $10. And there is
no quality or safety requirements or inspections at all on these suppliers. Their plants could be processing our vitamin C with pond water from behind the plant for all we know.
It's up to US companies to check it but do they really do that before they put in the bins to be added to all those products or especially to go into a $4 bottle destined for the "store brand" someplace? I doubt it.
Has everybody in the world but me forgot that until Nixon went over there (to try to save his faltering image at the time) they were our sworn enemy and they (unlike Russia) still have the same government. Their view of us hasn't changed, so why try to beat our military. Look at what else they can do to our economy, our food supply etc.
It would be unbelievable what would happen if we said for "6 months NO imports of any kind from China" imagine all the bare store shelves...and not just cheap shoes & DVD players but the grocery aisles too!
WHY ARE WE SELLING OUR COUNTRY TO OUR ENEMY? After all they have never changed their political viewpoint or their government since the days of the "cold war". All that has changed is trade agreements.
The same as selling one's soul to the devil it seems...
