China Conspiracy

How many conspiracy theorists are out there? Is China selectively trying to sabotage us in various ways?

Recently, the contaminant found in supplies of Baxter's heparin has now been traced back to the Changzhou Scientific Protein Labs (SPL) processing plant in China.

This contaminated product has been linked to an increase of adverse events and some fatalities and this comes on the back of recent lead contamination of toys and generic drug problems.

The FDA has not identified the exact contaminant, but does seem to be closer. It is thought that it is a glycosaminoglycan and a very similar compound to heparin itself.
Could this be a deliberate attempt to mask the contaminant by making it similar to the real thing?

There have been no reported adverse reactions in Japan from heparin used there and the peaks seen during testing are only being found in the heparin sent to the US.

This is most likely all just coincidental in the timing of these faulty products, but it does make you wonder!

Just remember what kind of people we are dealing with here. They murdered their own people when they dared organize a peaceful march in T--- square. These people are ruthless and can hardly wait until they become a superpower. That will be the total end of democracy.
We should not be buying anything made in China, but maufacturers are here are having their products made there using slave labor, with the result that the North American markets are being flooded with useless Chinese crap. That's all it is: crap. The maufaturers are making a killing selling this shit and we are too damn dumb not to see this. Just stop buying Chinese shit. It's really as simple as that.
Surely after the horrifying Heparin fiasco people will wake up and see what's going on. Come on, people, do something positive and useful for a change. Don't let these sick bastards get away with murder. They did when they poisoned all those pets. Remeber?
