Chinese Toothpaste: Problem Fixed?

In China they grabbed a regulator who was supposed to be overseeing the safety of food and medicine and executed him. They say he was taking bribes.

This is supposed "to show that it [China] is serious about improving the safety of Chinese products."

Heck, I feel better about things now. Don't you? Maybe if they murdered 10, or 50, administrators, we could really feel good. Problem solved.

Well, maybe not. It still boils down to an issue of trust. Each consumer in North America should be able to make up their own mind if they trust Chinese products, and act accordingly.

Does murdering executives inspire an increased level of trust in Chinese products? Well, it doesn't quite do it for me.

I want the products that I buy to be marked, "contains ingredients imported from China", and then I can make up my own mind about buying.

Consumers shouldn't have to worry about going blind from using tainted eye-drops, or worry about having their baby scream with pain because the baby shampoo has some kind of acid in it. My trust level is still very low. How about you?
