Product Safety

Speaking of the safety of Chinese products, the other day when I was at Jenny Lu’s getting groceries, a TV van pulled up and a reporter and cameraman jumped out. They knew that many foreigners shopped at Jenny Lu’s and were there to interview customers about the impression back home of the safety of Chinese products. Right away they came over to me started asking questions. I said that people back in the States were quite concerned about anything made in China that might go in their mouths, and that my doctor, who is Chinese, had told me not to take pills made in China. I also said that I thought the government here was making an effort to regulate product manufacture in the future. I wonder if the baby formula problem is a sign of improved regulation or no regulation.
