Yeah! Because the Chinese govt is so small, capitalism is rampant wild over there! They should be socialists like us and this wouldn't happen to them.

Seriously though, during the Olympics you could hear many people marvel at the wonderful precision and orderliness of everything in China. The gov't seem to be on top of everything. And now this.

Not content with poisoning foreign children, they now turn to poisoning their own Childre. Must be New Gingrich, yeah, Liberals always told me he wanted to poison kids.

I heard that it is over 50,000 people now and not just infant formula.

Basically the manufacturer was watering down milk then adding melamine to boost protein content to charge higher prices.

The were a "prefered provider" in China and were thus exempt from product testing.

This is a neocon wet dream.

Welcome to the modern world, China!

One baby step at a time, China is learning what it means to provide quality services and products to consumers --- still a long way to go.

After living in China for a year (southern China Liuzhou) I can give you 3 simple reasons for this

1. Greed
2. Greed
3. Greed

Please feel free to add to this list

That certainly explains what has happened to our country.

YEAH!

Be prepared for more analogies to the United States! Liberals love bad news!

Joe,

You do not have to be liberal to recognize the trends that are developing, but you have to be stupid to deny them.

I must say that 13,000 sick babies is not that big of a deal when they have: 0-14 years: 20.1% (male 142,085,665/female 125,300,391.

total pop 1,330,044,544 (July 2008 est.) total pop

JackD-

I was referring to the liberal trend of constantly analogizing every mistake made in China to American free market ideals. You'd have to be stupid not to recognize that.

I heard that it is over 50,000 people now and not just infant formula.

13,00 sent to hospital and 53,000 reported sickened. A coupla deaths as well.

Greed caused this?

But I thought only white people in Wall Street were greedy. I thought the all knowing and wise eastern cultures shuned western-style greed and capitalism. Silly me.

According to the French, what cause our financial crisis is anglo style business prractices. Well, I guess there are plenty of anglos in China then.

Does this even matter? Once the LHC is working, it will create a black hole that will swallow everything, including tainted milk, Sarah Palin, Bigfoot, and the servers that serve drudge.com.

Maybe that's the giant sucking sound that Ross Perot mentioned many years ago?

sounds to me that china's just trying to thin the herd...spudley - they will execute him just to make themselves look good. makes one wonder WHAT government of any kind is capable of, yes?

This will end in a few people being shot, with the bill for the bullet sent to the next of kin.

makes one wonder WHAT government of any kind is capable of, yes?

Or religion..

yes, i agree with you, zap.

or how about religion of government?

or how about religion of government?

i.e. Sarah Palin

just keep ingesting all that stuff with aspertane. all is well. just cluck your tongues at how they live across the street.

has that flouridated water made you completely docile yet? yup. thought so.

apertame, Visiter, and that stuff is poison.

Drink only distilled water folks.

^aspertame^

"has that flouridated water made you completely docile yet? yup. thought so."

Shoot, a fella' could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.

So the Chinese government is hunting down and arresting the people responsible for this, while at the same time encouraging a one-child policy (to keep population growth under control) that often involves infanticide and forced abortions?

What a bunch of hypocrites.

This 'Melamine' shit is, I believe, the same poison they used in the pet food that was killing dogs.

If this stuff will make a dog sick, just think what its doing to infants.
