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 had to check to see if my house had chinese drywall. Luckily, it didn't.
Fucking yellow bastards.
I even got stuck with a Chinese TA this year...it is insidious.
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.

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.
