Trent 0 #1 July 1, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapcf/06/29/china.seafood.ap/index.html Quote Li, the head of China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, said that there were a "handful of Chinese seafood enterprises" that had problems with quality control but that this did not warrant a blanket detention on all Chinese exporters of those types of seafood, Xinhua reported. He told Leavitt that some U.S. exports to China also had quality issues and that the two sides should properly resolve such problems by cooperating more closely. Earlier this week, China announced it had seized shipments of U.S.-made orange pulp and dried apricots containing high levels of bacteria and preservatives. Leavitt was quoted as saying the United States would send a team to China soon to negotiate a solution to the seafood block. So since we found bad stuff in several Chinese imported foods, China all of a sudden finds bad stuff in ours and now we'll negotiate it into safety? Something stinks. Politics over reality. Chinese food products either have contaminants or not. Our stuff either has contaminants or not. What is negotiating gonna do to fix that?Oh, hello again!
