Comments on: Ripples of the China Milk Scandal in Africa http://globalvoicesonline.org/2008/09/26/ripples-of-the-china-milk-scandal-in-africa/ The world is talking. Are you listening?

Any vigilence on the part of government health authorities in African countries affected by this dangerous scandal? I doubt it; have not read or heard a thing from official government spokespersons on the African continent that these Chinese products must be removed immediately from their markets and shop shelves. If this scandal had involved Western companies these same leaders in Africa would be howling with outrage, but with the Chinese it is a matter of 'grin and bear it'. Too much at stake in the form of Chinese government investment and promises of financial aid to Africa. Any voluntary recalls of Chinese milk products exported to African countries?

It is yet to be seen if the CCP can truly effect a change in safety standards in China since this problem is often a direct result of corruption. This is more than a mere PR problem.
