U.S. NEWS: “U.S. Restricts China Milk Products: FDA Forces Importers to Prove Shipments Contain No Melamine After Positive Tests,” by Jane Zhane and Alicia Mundy, Wall Street Journal, 14 November 2008.

The U.S. is the second biggest export market of Chinese food and beverages, after Japan and just about HK, South Korea and Russia.

Now, as a result of the scandal (oh so 1850s America, as I noted in a previous post), we now demand the Chinese prove they can reach some sort of product safe harbor.

Upshot? Our FDA now to open three offices in Chinese cities.

Connectivity drives code, and opens offices.
