I tend to agree, I shied away from going that far only because I didn't want to inflame (too much, anyway) an already testy situation.

China has already gone as far as to execute a govt official for letting the export situation get out of hand...whether this was a real sign of reform, or just a show trial to make an example of somebody, time will tell...I personally thought that was quite barbaric & extreme, but I would allow as how I might not think so if I had lost one of my doggies to their poisoned food.
