China Pouts After Mom Scolds Them

WARNING: Some people might find this posting to be "divisive." It contains truth and fact, which may cause discomfort and stomach upset for some readers. Poison pet food. Poison farm animal feed. Extremely high lead levels in toys and pottery. Toxic fish, and so much more wonderful stuff from China. The U.S. has called for investigations and bans of Chinese products, especially food items, and other nations have done the same. The Chinese, embarrassed, are trying to turn this around by claiming that U.S. products coming into China are tainted. They're pouting now. The world caught them in the kitchen with unwashed hands, and they are embarrassed, even though China has already admitted that there is a serious problem with food raised or processed there. It's comparable to a five year old kid who's been caught with his dirty hand in the cookie jar. His mom just scolded him for grabbing a cookie with his grubby fingers. The kid turns it around by accusing his mother of baking crappy cookies. So the Chinese are now saying that U.S. products going into China "failed to meet the sanitary standards of China." China has sanitary standards? Ha! Excuse me for a moment, I'm going laugh uncontrollably. Okay, whew. That was good. Those Chinese can be funny when they want to, huh? That quote came from the Chinese "General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine." Talk about an oxymoron. Oh - my - God. "U.S. inspectors recently have banned or turned away a growing number of Chinese exports, including monkfish containing life-threatening levels of puffer fish toxins, drug-laced frozen eel and juice made with unsafe color additives. The FDA has also stopped all imports of Chinese toothpaste to test for a potentially deadly chemical reportedly found in tubes sold in Australia, the Dominican Republic and Panama," according to an Associated Press story on June 9. The same story quotes Neil Langerman, an officer of the division of chemical health and safety of the American Chemical Society. He was asked if China’s seizure was a retaliation for the recent U.S. actions against Chinese products. “There’s more to this story than meets the eye. This is political," said Langerman, an officer of the division of chemical health and safety of the American Chemical Society. “I’d see what China is doing as a retaliation to what the U.S. has done." The Chinese did not specify which U.S. products were contaminated, or even how or with what. They only said that contaminates have been found unacceptably high levels, without providing details. It seems that some Chinese officials got together in a hurry, decided to say something to save face, and put together some poor crafted lies. Pitiful. Caught with their grubby, unwashed fingers in the cookie jar, they're sassing back after Mom scolded them.
