    anti-china propaganda

    Western countries make money with China since long time now, the most part of our products come from their. When a product is discovered as dangerous, produced in a western country, we don't say that ALL the products of this country are dangerous!
    Don't forget how Nike (and many other companies) employed children during long time (perhaps still now) in China.
    I suppose that the real reason of this boycott will be soon discovered. (weapons, gaz...)
    The countries wich import Chinese products should control themself sometimes, it would avoid problems, but i suppose they don't want to pay for these control.

    Nevertheless, China should have different labels of quality, and control it, it would be easier to make the difference for customers.

    About food in HK, i think the most problem is the bad fridges used in supermarkets, especially for frozen items. City's upper, more expensive, is not an exemple to follow!
    Be carefull with "brown eggs", if you put vinegar in the water before boiling them, you will see that these eggs are originally white.
    Have you ever seen color of "fresh" fishes from Welcome? The most part of time, they are...green!

    Bon appétit!

    Doubt any of the Dems can catch her, although she might not be "left" enough to cruise through the primaries. But her anti-China comments are an indication that she feels she has won the center of the Democratic Party and is now tacking left to pick up some of those voters.
    And the GOP is in disarray.

    Obama's timing is all wrong. Hard choice for him because he is riding a wave of poularity, but he needed a couple more terms in the Senate.
    Although, when was the last time a Senator won the Presidential election? They usually have too much baggage from all the money grubbing and speechifying in the Senate.
