Yes, and they are also known for stealing the very product brands and producing identical products, brand labels included, for selling on the black market at a huge price reduction. Got a contract to make some Ping golf clubs? Why not run a couple hundred thousand extra through the assembly line and make good money?Very interesting stuff...Isn't China known for sweat shops and pollution too

Exactly....it was the same in the U.S. during our own Industrial Revolution in the mid-1800's/early-1900s.

Maybe we should dig up W.C. Hawley and Reed Smoot, since their idea worked so well the first time around. I never thought I'd see the day when this board lined up with Pat Buchanan and against Paul Krugman. On a side note, has anyone else noticed how much Krugman's jaw makes him look like a puppet?

It's not just China, though they have been in the news lately. This is what happens when companies are constantly outsourcing for cost reasons. They lose their quality control on ingredients and a tainted source has widespread effects. Toothpaste, pet food, laptop batteries, vegetables, are the most recent problems, but there will be many more incidents.

They only lose their quality control if they choose to. This will serve as a lesson to closely monitor suppliers for companies that should be doing it anyway.
