China’s Version of the FDA—Tough Place to Work

Published by John Hopkins in Defective Design, Product Defect

China has certainly suffered its share of setbacks in the export of products to the rest of the world. They have allowed tainted toothpaste to leave their country and deadly dog & cat food to be exported. Most recently, it was discovered that Chinese tires were manufactured without including the material that binds the belts together.

China’s response to this event has been essentially two-fold. They blame foreign media for over blowing the whole thing. They especially point to the West’s media for concentrating on what they claim are isolated incidents:

“Some foreign media, especially those based in the U.S., have wantonly reported on so called unsafe Chinese products. They are turning white to black,” said Li Changjiang, minister of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

If we consider the numbers of recalled products in the U.S., one might agree that we live in a crystal palace” and, perhaps, throwing rocks in this instance is a bit hypocritical. Our FDA allows the marketing of products repeatedly that are later found to be dangerous or not to meet expectations. These problems often stem from manufacturers’ failure to fully test products or to misrepresent test findings, but those faulty products still end up in the stream of commerce.

When faced with product problems, the Chinese government investigated and they represent findings of corruption in their version of the FDA. In the U.S., the response to findings like that might be to form a committee to investigate. In China, their response to product defect and corruption findings? They executed the former head of its drug regulation agency. I would say China’s drug agency is a much tougher place to work than the FDA.

    I’ve come across that these days, more and more people will be attracted to cameras and the issue of digital photography. However, really being a photographer, you have to first expend so much of your time deciding which model of digicam to buy in addition to moving out of store to store just so you could possibly buy the most economical camera of the trademark you have decided to select. But it will not end generally there. You also have to think about whether you should buy a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Thx for the good recommendations I obtained from your blog.
