Food Quality in China is Tops

I understand that there is a lot of media attention in the US on the quality of products from China, particularly food. Just so you know, in Beijing they believe that all the media is hype and sensationalism. One example is the recent news on the steamed buns (baozi) that were filled with cardboard. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-07/13/content_5434250.htm

Six days later an article explains that the whole thing was a fabricated story. Who do you believe in the China press? http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-07/19/content_5438963.htm

China Daily also published this article today WHO: Food safety 'big problem' for all http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2007-07/19/content_5438993.htm

Just to prove the point, China and the US will have bilateral meetings to discuss the food quality issue. China has published statistics to prove that the food exports from China to the US actually have a higher approval rate than the exports from the US to China. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2007-07/19/content_5439012.htm
