"Made in China" . Read it as " Buyers beware"

In the recent past , China has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons (often or not China is in the news for wrong reasons ). The quality of Chinese products has always been has always been questioned by punters ( their low prices foments all the suspicion ) but seldom one does think them as life threatning.
The dog food products exported to USA , reported to have contained a cheap protein enhancing chemical melamin , proved fatal for many dogs there. In Panama , it were humans who had to loose their lives and this time by a syrup! which was meant to cure their cough and cold.Just now an American company sent back a consignment of tyres from China stating that it didn't fulfill the safety standards ( not surprised this time).
Even a decade or so back China's reportcard was not that glistening . The vaseline products exported to USA , UK and other European countries were tested positive for human parts . Its fortunate for me that I don't use those .
It seems Chinese exporters , who are already benefitting from the underevaluated Yuan , have an insatiable appetite for money which is driving them to all these. The mandarins also vacuously allow these products to be exported without verifying for their safety standards.Now to make up for loss in prestige, Chinese officials are running. They have reportedly shut down some 180 food producing factories . Well I don't think thats going to do it for them.
And with the race to acquire the topspot getting fierce , I don't think see such cases going down. So next time you buy a 'made in China' food product , first let your dog eat that!!! no, don't do that , better do'nt purchase that. Take 'Made in China' tag as "Buyers beware" or "poison" sign.
