Globalization is a code word for stop dropping bombs on each other, it is more sinister to kill each other discretely with plausible deniability. Egg rolls anyone? Thanks for stoppin' Greetings Chairman Meow:

In a country with an overpopulation problem, poisoned products is not considered a big deal: the punishment for being caught is a fine of $3300. The problem is that these tainted exports would be in the product pipeline for months before someone finally connected the dots. Now, of course, we know that whenever there's a mysterious disease, the first thing to check is Chinese imports. But what a mess! I can't wait for the American companies to catch on to the fact that you need to be able to assert that the ingredients are of local origin.
