China blames U.S. for toy scares
BEIJING, China (Reuters) -- China hit back on Monday after Mattel's massive toy recall, saying designers and importers should also take responsibility for product safety, but promised to punish its own manufacturers who flout standards.
The world's largest toymaker recalled more than 18 million Chinese-made toys this month because of hazards from small magnets that can cause injury if swallowed, just two weeks after it recalled 1.5 million toys due to fears over lead paint.
"I myself looked at some of the samples of these problematic toys, and I found that there is a serious problem with the design. The design is seriously defective," Li Changjiang, head of China's General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, told a news conference.

I'm reasonably certain a design that didn't include lead paint, as it is outlawed worldwide, did not include lead-based paint....
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

Uh -- standards? What standards? I quit buying Chinese-produced goods years ago, as much as possible, because I personally found too many of those products not only vastly substandard quality but downright dangerous.Originally Posted by Damocles

Yes, but responsible leaders who love the people should inform them of the long term effects of such shortsighted thinking, instead of A.) Misleading them into thinking there is no downside or b) deriving glee and a perverse satisfaction from watching the debacle, while concurrently pretending nothing can be done to reverse the trend. You blame the victim.

Individuals put people in charge to help them figure things out. It's sad when those leaders betray that trust, and tell them nothing is wrong with current patterns.
Villified User
It is even worse when the individuals cannot figure that out.
And keep repeating the mistake.

Individuals become powerless though, after alternatives are gone from the market due to unfair currency manipulation, and a refusal to ban slave goods, acts which occur at a higher level. Don't act like you're an anarchist, when you seem to prefer fascist totalitarianism.

Umm what does that have to do with sucky choices for our leaders ?
