China's a threat to the world? Concern over poison pet foods

First thing this morning, when I picked the Washington Post and started reading, I was shocked the see the big title on the upfront of the front page-China's Food issue is a concern.

It is no more news that China has a bad reputation for food poisoning, something even people could not image how cruel it is, milk powder, for example. in 2004, 13 babies in China died of malnutrition, a would-be worst case in a developed country, however, it is only one of handful cases in China, where patients died of antibiotics injections, made by irresponsible and profit only pharmacy makers, and students and teachers died of school cafeteria foods that were contaminated by pesticides.

However, it would be just OK if this is only a domestic issue for China, with China speeds up its export machine and Made in China goods flooded every corner of the World, it is now becoming a Global Issue.

How safe are the Chinese exports? From Pet foods poison to hogs were being quarantined in several states in the U.S., If this trends continue, the foods industry in China will face a serious doubt from not only U.S. consumers, but also the Sudanese consumers.
