[quote=LEONARDO,244677]Since March 2007,  overseas media has sharply fired  at made-in-China products. China's  food quality and safety are widely under  controversy.  What's wrong with "made-in-China" products?

Undoubtedly, Chinese products are impossible to be flawless. At this point, either the Chinese government or enterprises must look squarely on this fact.  
  
    In recent months, since the additives exported from China contaminated some pet food in North America, the quality of Chinese products, especially food, have been in the international spotlight.

The foreign media has also reported that toothpaste, seafood, toys, and even cooking pots from China were found to be unsafe, triggering global criticism of Chinese products in general.

However, do "made-in-China" products lie at the bottom of the pyramid of the World' s Product Quality? Probably, it is not the case.

Facing the global antagonism, China issued its first White Paper on food safety on August 17th.  The white paper said China is taking a series of measures to improve its food safety and quality.
 
    The paper also stated that the qualification rate of exported Chinese food had remained higher than 99 percent for many years. In the first half of 2007,  the qualification rate of  exported Chinese  food  reached 99.1%,  99.8% to Japan and EU.

Well, fact is fact.  The rational market holds no prejudice against made-in- China products. Despite of numerous reports on China's products, particularly on food, medicine and toys. the three under-fire products respectively increased by 22.2%、41% and 27.7% in the first half of 2007.

Some countries are airing " China Food Threat". Maybe, it is another mutation of "China Threat" . 
 
    I was reminded of a story about "Made-in-Germany products".  After the First World War, Britain discriminated againsts German products and required that " all German Products must attach a label reading "Made in Germany". The final outcome was that "Made in Germany" became a world-famous brand.
       
     Food safety is a global concern. All the members of international community should work together to improve food safety and product quality. Meanwhile, food safety and product quality should not be abused as an excuse of trade barriers.
