Thread Name: BS: Why do we allow imports of Chinese goods
Subject: BS: Why do we allow imports of Chinese goods
12 babies dead and 6200 ill. 1200 seriously ill and hospitalized. Milk was watered down and tainted with melamime to increase the protein content and get it past inspectors. Chinese officials knew about it but did nothing until their Australian affiliate blew the whistle. Tainted dairy products are turning up all over China and in about a dozen other countries. So far none in the US.

After the toy fiasco, why do we still import from China? Or why do we not crack down and inspect every scrap that comes into the country? Can we realistically boycott Chinese goods?
