#1 If it isn't one thing it's another. Harbor Freight is recalling fuses imported from China after some unfortunate electrical problems were noted by their customers.

#4 Incredibly poor quality Chinese made condoms are partially responsible for the AIDS epidemic that is taking place. After the Henan "bloodheads" AIDS crisis—the largest medically caused AIDS epidemic in the world—that infected tens of thousands, China tried to hush it up and took no substantive measures. Instead they threatened Western AIDS drug manufacturers that if China was not given preferential pricing they would simply reverse engineer the compounds.

Evidently, Phizer, Merk and the gang told China to piss up a rope. China's own versions of these powerful drugs produce such violent side-effects that many patients stop taking them.

Due to China's inaction in the Henan province many thousands of AIDS infected people fled to the larger urban centers to find work. They also fled the intense stigma that comes with being an AIDS patient. Since only one in five (20%) of Chinese people know about safe sex or how to properly use a condom, little has been done to stop the AIDS epidemic.

While the government distributes free condoms, they—like the ones in dispute—have a high failure rate. High quality condoms can cost between a day's or even a week's wages.
