Forbes says:

This article argues that China will never have an effective system to monitor food and product safety if it muzzles its press from reporting when there are problems.

But a spate of tainted products and recalls involving goods made in China gives many global consumers pause. China’s reaction includes denials, scapegoating and even the fast execution of one government official accused of taking bribes to allow production of shoddy goods. But the government has also employed Western public-relations specialists. “Spin,” or official interpretations designed to shape public opinion, won’t solve China’s problems or alleviate public concerns, warns journalist Paul Mooney. Tragically, China’s authoritarian government prohibits notice about dangerous products to Chinese consumers who suffer the consequences unaware. Chinese regulators and factory managers must learn to resist multinational demands for low-cost supplies. But public trust – among Chinese and global consumers – will be possible only when independent Chinese media are allowed to investigate and report without restriction.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AE9D85E8-0F0E-4A5F-9360-FDBBE394899D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
