| #5 Back in the day, when Made In Japan meant cheap plastic crap, you knew you were getting cheap plastic crap but it wouldn't kill you. Is there *anything* the Chinese make that is actually what it says on the label? |

| #4 Melamine and every other form of toxic waste they don't want to actually have to deal with. The latest greatest thing I have heard about is that they are using cadmium instead of lead because people were whining too much about the lead in the toys and kids' jewelry they'd ship over here. Hey, cadmium isn't exactly lead, so it must be OK, right? |

| #1 Federal authorities charged six people and three companies Friday with importing substandard magnesium powder from China into the United States, where officials say it got into the Defense Department's arsenal but was discovered before being used in combat or exercises. Too late, but not in a way that cost American lives. At least, assuming we have other stuff already made that they can use instead. Assume nothing from the Chinese. Test everything we import from them when it hits the dock and charge the importer. If it fails, just send it back. Let the importer work it out with the company they got it from. |
