One of the obvious-when-you-think-on-it but easy-to-forget aspects of globalization is the dramatic and misunderstood cultural differences around the planet. The issues with China and the integrity of their consumable products that we buy, swallow, take, and brush with are a perfect example. What really is happening over there that makes such a thing possible and perhaps even common?. Seems the Chinese are sensitive to the potential market erosion as confidence drops, so they've taken action and have executed a government official who had taken bribes to approve untested medicine. Yoiks.
