I deleted my post too because I don't think we need to fight over irrelevant drama
/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I mean I understand many people have strong feelings on Chinese products and if they don't personally want to use them, I can definitely respect that. My aunt had sent me some special Chinese cosmetics recently and I'm very much like e___e about using them because they don't have ingredient lists (though I'm not allergic to anything) but on the other hand I also know she probably would never send me anything she didn't trust and they were probably expensive so I'd feel bad about just tossing them.
Actually Chinese products products exported to other countries are usually regulated much more heavily than products sold intra-country just because foreign companies don't want to ruin their reputations based on poor quality. Similarly, China actually heavily regulates products imported into the country, despite being very lax about intra-country trade. That's why many people rally against China's gov't about animal testing -- because they want to ensure cosmetic safety standards, and that's their method. It's not fair, but I do think the gov't (weirdly and occassionnally maliciously) cares about its own citizens and consumers. I mean, it's easy to say, "well, why shouldn't the government trust products being sold to US/European customers as safe?" but -- "we" don't trust them. Why should they trust "us" and our products?
