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."
~~~ Rosa Parks, December 1, 1955
