On China

... Where will this China issue end? Their cultural indifference to the health and safety of it's citizens is so ingrained, that it would take generations to build a society which respects life, and therefore develops a conscience about the quality of their goods, and their conditions of employment.
... However, in the meantime, assuming that China will take to real steps to ensure the quality of their goods, and if our governments take no real steps towards monitoring their goods, I expect that we will just wait for greater tragedies- which will cause a global ban on all Chinese products.
... Which would then cause a belligerent China to more deeply align itself militarily with the other great domestic failure Russia (who manufactures nothing, and so is free of these scandals), against the imagined aggressions of the U.S.
... Therefore, there are no options. Our governments must begin to exercise their rightful responsibility to refuse the importation of unsafe or unhealthy goods.
