Why is COOL important to the issue of products made in China?  The Chinese have long mislabeled or simply NOT labeled products destined for the American public and the world.  Until we as the American public demand that ALL products (including components and where the products were put together) have COOL, we can never be assured our consumption of products are made with the standards we believe in.  Until we demand that the various loopholes in our laws are closed, we cannot enforce accountability to those countries importing into ours.

I said that for China the first imperative was ‘survival’, but I must immediately add that by ‘survival’ I do not merely mean to eke a living by disgraceful means...
~~~ Lu Xun, Modern China’s greatest writer


"No."
