China uses more insecticide than any other country per agricultural acre. And they don't have our controls, so they can use malathion if they wish. I think we have to do our own testing. You can buy your own Gas chromatography-mass spectrometrometer for as little as $20K. After than the sample are quite cheap so you could get a side business testing employees at your workplace for banned substances, and do stuff for the local branch of the DEA. No doubt they are overworked as it is, and are suffering from sampling latency from sheer volume. Some consumer advocacy group should do it, as the government is not being a trusted watchdog obviousement.
