They will never be proactive about safety, unless they feel the pressure from those being exported to. Any country that imports ANY goods from China needs to take a stand on all issues & threaten to pull back on imports from China. Perhaps when money becomes the issue, the government will be more likely to proactivelly seek health issues from all products. Lead poisening, melanine poisenening etc is not a coincidence there-it's just globally announced now. Let's stop this insanity to keep everyone safe. Let me reitterate-it's not the Chinese-it's the Chinese government.
