[quote=SETH,272662]I like to cook and often cook oriental dishes requiring ingredients that come from China, Japan, Thailand, etc. In the US we have global market stores that sell these imported foods and spices and I never had any more or less problems with imported food stuffs compared to those things made in the USA.

In the USA, we have had careless and possibly unscrupulous businesses selling questionable foods (like the most recent beef recalls) but it isn't a national issue that condemns the USA. In the same way, problems with imports from China don't reflect on China as a country, but are more localized lapses that can be fixed. Hopefully there are no deaths from any of these lapses, here or in China or elsewhere. Nowadays, however, people seem to want to cast blame rather than work to solve issues quickly and peacefully, and are too quick to blame entire societies and countries for the nasty or careless work of a few.

My worry, however, is that some unscrupulous peoples or organizations might taint goods from China (for example), just to have it reflect badly on China. I think that is a form of economic terrorism that should not be tolerated anywhere.[/quote]
