Tainted Milk?

Well, this is old news, but China and its milk controversy have caused the death of a second child. Before I present my views, let me try and state everything in China that has been looked down upon everyone everywhere:
Poisoned Dog Food
Poisoned Seafood
Lead-Painted Toys (Poisoned)
Internet Censorship (If you look up Tienanmen Square or Dancing Banana, it will be blocked)Free Smileys & Emoticons at Clipart of.com
Poisoned Pirated DVD's
And the list goes on...
Anyway, the greed that goes in China in insatiable. To go with the milk scandal, greedy people who want to save a few pennies would water down the milk, then add melamine to make sure the milk passes standards. Melamine is commonly used in coatings and laminates, wood adhesives, fabric coatings, ceiling tiles and flame retardants. Melamine is known to cause kidney stones. China's regulations have been reputedly low and let this happen, with the list above.

Actually, Associated Press says that at least 4 children have died from the tainted milk at this point in time...

It is maybe appearing that China is not as reliable as we once thought. With all of these things coming, as Kevin listed. Is it time to reduce our dependence on China?
