#1 We don't need food imports from China. We can live with whatever consequences arise from banning them altogether.

When it comes to international trade, the Chinese care about one thing and one thing only...PROFIT. Whatever they have to do to wring out a few more bucks, whether it be additives, chemicals that make a product seem more nutrient rich, or whatever, they will do it without a moment's hesitation...legal or not. They simply don't value the sanctity of a human life like we do. If they kill a few hundred thousand with some tainted product (and they will eventually), it'll be "oh well, at least we made alot of money".

It's time to tell the truth about them, BAN their inferior and dangerous products, and oh by the way, until they stop using slave labor camps, child labor, and a host of other atrocious practices, lets remove MFN trade status as well.

#2 Word, gorb! China needs to be spanked hard. These same tainted goods are showing up at our borders two or three times after being rejected on the first attempt. This means that China's government is not confiscating them upon return to their shores or even penalizing the violaters.

Curiously enough, when inspectors went over to check on the factory that produced the melamine tainted wheat gluten that killed our pets, there was nothing left to inspect. The entire facility had been stripped out right down to the machine equipment's anchor bolts. I can only speculate as to what other sorts of violations they were attempting to conceal.
