The stories about this on the news sites I checked go along similar lines.

After the poisoning of pet food, the poisoning of toothpaste, the poisoning
of intant formula - to name a few poisonings - and the lead-paint in
children's toys and all the human rights violations, I want nothing more to
do with China or anything Chinese until they get their act together.

Some are saying relations have suffered? Relations should be severed.

I've been following the story of this poor chap, and I'm still dumbfounded
that, with all the publicity and all the evidence pointing to his lack of
understanding of what he was doing and what he was accused of, the camel's
back has been broken.

Well said. But people will have to be willing to pay more for their
consumer goods since China is one of the main sources of cheap products.

This particular incident is peanuts compared with the number of
executions of the mentally ill the US has been responsible for.

You're right that the US has a shameful history with capital punishment.
It's especially saddening to me because at one point it was outlawed,
but that was later overturned and various states began executing people
again. We're back in the dark ages.

That said, the number of executions in the US doesn't even come close
to the number done in China. Also, as far as I know, the US uses
capital punishment for violent crimes only. I'm still against it, but
if it's going to be done, at least let it be for something like murder,
not for drug smuggling, for Christ's sake.

Without having even really given deep thought to the economic hardship it
would cause (to me) I think I'd be willing either to pay more for what I
need, find a substitute or do without.

It would be practically a bit easier to work a personal boycott of
everything American (they make much less stuff) but it wouldn't
make a lot more sense.

My comment wasn't based on this incident alone, and I don't think you could
cite even one example of an execution here for a similar infraction.
