China lately has been hitting the headlines over again with new problems. A quick refresh; Among many things, the discovery of problems in food export, slavery, toxic toothpaste, fatal pet food and now, toys' recall due to the lead paint used.

Just a thought. One possibility is that these problems could really have started appearing only just recently.

But maybe, just maybe, could there be a possibility that China is being sabotaged?

Well, I'm not suggesting that it's alright to have toxic toothpaste or dangerous pet food and so on.

But the irony do lie in the fact that although these issues have been ongoing, it has been made known to the world just a year before the Olympics.

Coincidence? Well, for today, I'm going to say no.

My reasons:

First, like I've mentioned, these issues have been ongoing but why now, a few months away from the Olympics, are they being seen by the media. If the media had really wanted to show how 'disorgansied' or 'inefficient' China is, they should have covered the stories years ago, and not a year before China's most anticipated and awaited event; hosting the Olympics.

Second, most of the complaints come especially from the States. Like the lead paint in toys and the suspension for pork shipments, these complaints came from the US. The issue about the pork shipments is that it contains a swine growth promoter that is used in the States, but banned in China.

Well, I mean if its edible and the people in US are eating it, and it doesn't cause any casualties, why not?!

I may be wrong; that perhaps it's really only recently that the media sees these issues, but on the other hand, it seems quite a convenient sabotage plan.

Do add in your comment here, to take this discussion onto the next level.
