    I guess it'll take them a LOOOONG time to mend their reputation hahaha.

    Don't think their reputation as the exporter of unsafe goods can EVER be mended, considering the continual media coverage of their wrong-doings...

    ^Haha yup, especially more and more absurd ones are coming into the surface. Even toothpaste.. geez.

    Wait til they start exporting fake soy sauce, fake salt and fake eggs (all of which HAPPENS) then got found out... that would be the end of China's exportation dream and the premature collapse of an economy... -devil

    ^Haha yeah... but you gotta give it to them for being creative

    LOL, creative indeed... And I thought those things (soy sauce, egg and salt) are REALLY cheap already...

    ^That's what I thought too!!! Why bother to clone/fake something that is already cheap??? Lol.. weird.

    I was told that in certain rural areas in China, they can't even afford basic food items such as eggs and soy sauce... That's why they made the fake ones >.<

    ..... but to make the fake ones would require costs for research and ingredients as well.......

    In fact, by using toxic/hazardous chemicals, they push the production price further down...
