@fernandesfran; Most governments make sure that the import or export of goods are working well. As far as I know China has the melamine milk scandal, poisonous sofa´s, fake eggs, cheap counterfeit products, poisoned dumplings and the rest is in average of a bad quality. Just look at the comments from ´UndertakerRach´ below and he´s so right. I have some friends from China and abroad who have been there. And no, I prefer the use my inbox for the love letters from ladies here, lol.

@Valfore95 If you are interested, we can have a decent mature discussion through private messages, rather than calling each other names and acting like kids in front of the world. I believe in discussions not debates, as nobody ever wins a debate. Cheers.

@Valfore95 I don't see anything wrong with replying to a comment that is 1 year old. I am not a Chinese guy or a defender of China. In fact I am Indian. I am just telling you my objective observations after having visited China a few times.

The CCP is a political party, it is not a manufacturing company. The things are manufactured by the people of China, just like in any other country. There are both good and bad people in China just like in any other country. Stop being so angry dude.

@fernandesfran; LOL u take effort 2 reply on comment from 1 yr ago?

any1 who now says it´s ridiculous that nobel prize is prevented to be given to family to the winner is labeled ´anti-china´ by xinhua news. when it comes 2 rightfull critics pro-ccp act like fucking pussies.

shit happens everywhere, but at least we can accept critics and attempt 2 change things.

Chinese CCP can only brainwash, whine, terrorise, corrupt and lie while they export cheap shitty products

@Valfore95 You have surely never been to China and believe every thing that is in the media or the internet. The things you mention as 'disgusting cultural practices' are done by a very minute minority who are hated by chinese as well. I am sure if we were to use the same keywords and search against whatever country you come from, we would have equal success with google. Anyway, if you get a chance, visit China. You will change your outlook a bit, I promise you.

(Part4)Some Chinese mad because they have believed the mass media report which said criminal must be Japanese. Why did Chinese officials report so without definite proof? After 2 years, how Chinese officials found syringes in the river? Why have they taken for investigation for 2 years? Have Chinese officials waited people become less interesting the news? This strategy is the same as the so-called Nanking Massacre.

[undertakerRach]

(Part3)Japanese investigators have insisted that the evidence indicated that the dumplings were most likely contaminated in China for two years. Finally, Chinese officials have admitted the pesticide methamidophos had been mixed into the product in that country, after repeated previous denials. The criminal is Lu Yueting, who was a temporary employee at the Tianyang Food Plant based in northern China's Hebei Province. He mixed poison to Gyoza with syringes, and he threw the syringes to river.

[undertakerRach]

(Part2)At that time, Chinese officials said, no problems were detected at gyoza factory and it passed 24 quality checks since February 2007. In short, they strongly denied it causes China in 2008. Needless to say, the frozen gyozas were found to have traces of methamidophos, a pesticide banned in Japan. Chinese officials had appealed enthusiastically that the gyoza may have been contaminated deliberately in Japan before they caught criminal, so Chinese people believed the criminal must be Japan.

[undertakerRach]

(Part1)In April, 2010, Chinese police have apprehended a 36-year-old man who allegedly poisoned frozen "gyoza" dumplings that were exported to Japan and sickened 10 people, the official Xinhua news agency said, quoting the Ministry of Public Security. After eating shop-bough instant frozen gyoza (dumplings), 10 people are reported to have experienced nausea, dizziness in Japan. One of the victims—a five-year-old girl went into a coma.
