    ha ha ha, this is funny
    so we always hear about how food from china is making people sick

    check out this report I found on CNN (american site) - july 14






    BEIJING (AP)--China has suspended imports from Tyson Foods Inc. (TSN) and several other U.S. meat processors - the latest indication the government may be retaliating as its products are turned back from overseas because of safety concerns.

    Frozen poultry products from Tyson, the world's largest meat processor, were found to be contaminated with salmonella, China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine said on its Web site late Friday.

    Other imports barred by China include frozen chicken feet from Sanderson Farms, Inc. (SAFM), tainted with residue of an anti-parasite drug, as well as frozen pork ribs from Cargill Meat Solutions Corp. that contained a leanness- enhancing feed additive, the AQSIQ said.

    A Cargill spokesman denied the agency's claims. Tyson and Sanderson Farms officials were not immediately available for comment.

    didn't Tyson got into trouble for its hamburger meat for contamination? so even if China's government trying to get back at US, I wouldn't blame them. I don't buy China's fishes when it's contaminated; why should Chinese in China buy contaminated hamburger meat from US? I don't even do hamburger for our recent bbq.
