Toys, clothes, pharmaceuticals and now decorations;  are there any exports the Chinese make that AREN'T toxic, other than more Chinamen (and with their noted prenatal and postnatal healthcare, there's no guarantee of that)?

QuoteOfficials destroyed a shipment of bunny scarecrows that recently arrived at the port of Baltimore after agricultural inspectors determined that the bamboo poles to which they were attached could contain harmful pathogens.

The shipment from Hong Kong raised the concern of Customs and Border Protection agents working at the port, who are trained in biological sciences and agricultural inspection.

Bamboo is regulated to prevent the spread of bamboo smut and other pathogens, officials said. Bamboo stakes can also contain wood borers and other insects.

Border protection agents "were pretty quick to hop on this potential threat," said Augustine Moore, an assistant director with the customs agency working at the port, in a statement.

The container with the bunny scarecrows - dressed in striped trousers and jackets - as well as baskets and other crafts, arrived Sept. 29, and was quarantined. The scarecrows were destroyed last week, officials said, after the importer decided against fumigating them or shipping them out of the country.

Bamboo smut is what we call Chinese Porn.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I had to check to see if my house had chinese drywall. Luckily, it didn't.

Sheesh, is nothing from China safe? Eventually their various industries and agriculture will get things sorted out, but really, they have a lot of problems right now.

Did she demonstrate the finer aspects of Chinese porn for extra credit? :perv:

Wonder what the population of China would be if they actually made safe products.?  :huh:

No they won't.  There's no monetary benefit.
Remember, it's all about making the quickest buck in the easiest manner for the Chinese.  They're yellow Jews, only without the deli and social conscience.
