POPSLive on TV Mattel CEO groveled for slandering China.
"We understand and appreciate deeply the issues that this has caused for the reputation of Chinese manufacturers," Debrowski said. Mattel also released a statement, saying the company may have been overly cautious in its actions, recalling toys that did not present any kind of danger due to paint. "The follow-up inspections also confirmed that part of the recalled toys complied with the U.S. standards," the statement said. Mattel has announced plans to require supplier certification and to do more random, unannounced inspections. During the meeting Li reminded Dobrowski that much of Mattel's annual profit comes from factories in China. He also chastised Mattel for allowing the mistakes to go through and said he hopes the company will "improve their control measures." "This shows that our co-operation is in the interests of Mattel, and both parties should value our co-operation. I really hope that Mattel can learn lessons and gain experience from these incidents,'' Li sai

POPSChina's 30,000 Censors Face an Uphill Battle The Washington Post has a page one article today about the Chinese government’s ongoing efforts to snuff out information critical of the regime.

POPSCommunist Personal Adds One of the most sinister legacies of communism is the odd side effect that its radical materialism wound up oposing beauty, love and sex. To this day, Chinese people will insist that traditional Chinese culture does not have a concept of love, that romance is a western notion, and that Chinese marriage is purely an arrangement out of social obligation. This is of course not true, but two generations have now been born under Communist propaganda, and that's long enough for them to forget which values are traditionally Chinese, and which ones are communist indoctrination. It's ironic to me that the reality of Communism is anti-love, anti-peace, probably anti-flower. The truth is that Communism is an ideology that is obsessed with money, materialism, and warfare. Understanding this explains a lot about the current socio-economic milieu in China and Russia.
