<It just shows a lack of ordinary consideration for one's fellow human beings. Being a good person is good for business.> There's the issue. China is a hard-scrabble grab for the money. Concern for others is not an issue. If the others go down the gurgler, all to the good to make room for oneself. In a zero-sum game, [China], grabbing the goods is the way to get ahead. That's how it was for everyone everywhere until quite recent times. Nowhere is very good, but some places are worse than others. China is in the worse than others category. I am not convinced they will change while such a large proportion of Genghis Khan DNA remains extant. His methodology was NOT to encourage voluntary free exchange of created value and respect for private property and government of minimal proportions. TJ says the Japanese were meanies in Nanking and elsewhere in their attempts to take over East Asia. Some of China's ancestors were not too kind either. Mqurice

Safety? In Wine? Can you please reflect on what you wrote, Please? When one company produces for the local market there are sanitary authorities that regulate the production of those goods, food or drinks. If you rpoduce for export, then is another story. You have to abide, not only to the local regulations but to international regulations. This has gone as far as regulations are used as non-tariff barriers. Now think like a business person> You have cracked the US market. Would you dare to destroy your business relationship by going against the rules?
