Another export from CHINA INCORPORATED! Safety means almost nothing to a nation of 1.1 billion people, where 100 million deaths would be a small dent in their overpopulated country. China is a mix of bad government, industrial greed and corruption.

China is a menace to this earth, they act like Russia's friend now but in the future they will only care about China. Just look at the recent Chines fighter jet, it is exactly like a Russian jet. They claim they created it but they really just stole the design from Russia.
