In China, Quality Is Not Exactly Job 1

Made in China means Buyer Beware.
Inspectors Say Nearly 1 in 5 Chinese Products Substandard
Chinese government inspectors report that nearly one-fifth of the products they examined this year were substandard. The report follows months of increasing publicity over tainted foods and unsafe products made in China and sold both domestically and overseas. Daniel Schearf reports from Beijing. China's General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine says in the first half of this year more than 19 percent of inspected Chinese products made for domestic consumption failed national quality and safety standards.The rate of failure among small manufacturers was even worse, at 27 percent. Small manufacturers account for about 75 percent of all food processing operations.
The inspection agency says it surveyed more than 6,000 companies and seven thousand products, focusing mainly on food and consumer goods.From the Voice of America
In fairness to the Chinese I wonder what the results would be if the American General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine tested American-made products. Oh, I'm sorry, we don't have a General Administration of Quality, Supervision, Inspection, and Quarantine. We have the FDA.
