Default China report: Industrial chemicals being used in products from candy to seafood

How can the Chinese government crack down on their own party?
Putting the fox in charge of the hen house?

Most Americans know this is only lip service, it works in China but nobody
trust the Chinese government.

That is the problem, the Chinese government are the same liars that existed
during the Korean war till the 1989 Tiananmen square massacre to the recent
arm sales to terrorist in Iraq.

It is not just the USA that do not trust China. China's world opinion is
lower than the USA's which is a remarkable feat with the war in Iraq and
dislike of GWB's regime.

Survey: Views of China more negative in US, Europe
Public attitudes toward China are turning more negative in the United
States, Europe and elsewhere amid unease about its economic and military
power, a new international survey suggests. "The image of China has slipped
significantly among the publics of other major nations," said the 2007 Pew
Global Attitudes Survey. Feelings have deteriorated in the United States,
Britain, Japan, India and Germany, though China generally is viewed
favorably, due largely to its contribution to economic growth, according to
the survey. The exception to the downturn was Africa, where China is
expanding commercial ties and has pledged several billion dollars in aid.
Large majorities in all but one of 10 African countries surveyed see China
and its growing economic and military power positively. The survey was based
on telephone or face-to-face interviews between early April and late May in
45 countries, according to Pew. Sample sizes ranged from about 500 in Kuwait
and Italy and about 1,000 in Russia, Egypt and Brazil to 2,000 in the United
States and 3,000 in China. Margins of error ranged from 2 to 4 percent. In
the United States, the percentage of respondents with a favorable view of
China fell from 52 percent last year to 42 percent this year, the survey
found.
