China still allows street vendors to use gutter oil, so I’m not sure they’ve got their priorities straight.

Lol no, they arrested a lot of people for this.

Well, problem solved then.

Isn’t that a differ issue? You said they “allow” people to use gutter oil but it seems that is false. It’s illegal but they don’t have perfect enforcement against crime.

It's the pot calling the kettle black

I enjoy unusual Asian foods but for me "made in China" is a warning label for foods and I understand that many Chinese people think the same thing. China has terrible problems with heavy metal contamination of soil and unlike tritium from Fukushima those elements get concentrated dangerously as you go up the food chain

Unquestionably. They play the same manipulative games with Taiwan. They banned pineapple imports two years ago because Taiwan's independence party gained control.
