On the China Front
Mattel is planning another massive recall of Chinese-made toys. Canadian hotels are asking travelers to throw away their Chinese-made toothpaste after it was found to contain anti-freeze. And a bridge collapsed, killing 29 people and raising questions about the speed and safety of China's new construction. And in the last month, the enviro group Sea Shepherd has seized 19,000 illegally-taken shark fins, almost certainly headed for China and Hong Kong.
On the positive side, four baby pandas were born in Chinese zoos yesterday. Pandas are cute.
