Tweed 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. -- Ketzl's Dad |

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.

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

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. -- Ketzl's Dad |
