Whenever the United States threatens China with trade sanctions the Chinese political machine spins into action, often countering our threats of higher tariffs and trade sanctions by referring to them as  ”Acts of War.”
So what, then, should we do when the Chinese continue to manufacture and distribute poisonous products to US consumers? Since all industry in China is state-owned, should we not hold the People’s Republic of China directly responsible?
The latest incident involves the over-irradiation of pet food shipped to U.S. distributors from Chinese manufacturers and is responsible for thousands of illnesses and hundreds of  deaths:
At least 360 dogs and one cat reportedly have died in the U.S. after eating chicken jerky pet treats made in China, even as claims of illnesses tied to the products have topped 2,200, federal veterinary health officials said.
Food and Drug Administration officials this week issued the first summary of reports of pet deaths linked to the jerky treats in the past 18 months, along with the strongest suggestion to date that owners might want to avoid the products all together.
âThe FDA is reminding pet owners that jerky pet treats are not necessary for pets to have a fully balanced diet, so eliminating them will not harm pets,â agency officials said in an online report.
At the same time, the FDA said it will begin testing treats to see whether irradiation of the products may have contributed to reports of treat-related problems ranging from diarrhea and vomiting to kidney failure, Fanconi syndrome and death.

In 2011 tainted milk products were responsible for deaths and serious illness all across China.
How long before U.S. consumers suffer the same fate? Would the poisoning of thousands of Americans by state-sponsored Chinese manufacturers be considered an ‘Act of War’ or just the cost of doing (cheap) business with the premier slave labor state in the world?

Make, grow or raise what you can for yourself. If you have to buy or barter, get it from a local source. If you can’t get it local, then you probably don’t need that badly. All this sounds a bit extreme, but not only is it safer, it may become a way of life by force in the near future. Just sayin’.
I stopped buying human or animal food from China several years ago. They sell their own babies tainted formula! There is no end to what they would not do for a dollar.
I know a person who had a heart attack and someone who died from a blood thinner made in china. Think it was around 2003 or so. I guess too much trouble to expect things to be inspected.
dont buy from walmart, grow it your self.or buy it from local farmers, problem solved.
walmart is cheap but it will kill ya in the long run.
This is the same FDA that outlawed real milk,puts naturalist/herbalists in jail,conducts armed raids on farmers and farmers markets,allows drug pushing corps to test their own poisons and so on….and they do nothing about the real threats like this!
Know your farmer or raise your own…become independent of the food system…or pay the price!
I don’t buy any food products from China and India. Watched a documentary about food production in China. It was quite sickening.
We are lucky in the West that we do have a framework and laws that helps maintain quality.
The point is things are being made and distributed that you cannot grow in your own back yard. Baby formula, toothpaste, petfoods and medicines. People purchasing the items assume they are safe and do not contain toxins or anti-freeze. Since most gov agencies are too lazy to inspect, as an executive may have to get up from their chair or travel to a location they will claim they are understaffed. Much easier to raid small farms and easier to get fine money from the usa citizen. People dying are of no concern to the agencies too lazy to test and not wishing to ruffle feathers. I bet most medicines are made in china and india. Think about just the water quality. The govs attitude is just to stamp everything made internationally so people do not know. I got a skin rash from soap made in china. I do not buy anything with the label. Clothes and articles only at yardsales for .25 because that is all they are worth.
