China Says U.S. Soybeans Are Tainted

Ok, so maybe there really was something wrong with the soybeans from the U.S. But a few things come to mind for me. First of all, China is in the middle of a pretty bad drought, and with lower than normal crops, it seems that the world's biggest importers of soybeans probably shouldn't be knocking what's coming in to them, since standard procedure would be to burn any sub-par stuff...which they can't afford to do right now with this drought! Second, when in the same sentence they say "U.S. soybeans are contaminated Mattel is responsible for the lead paint", two, clearly unrelated topics, doesn't it make you wonder if they're just trying to point the finger at someone, anyone, else? To me, that read: let's find a way to get attention off of us and on to something else! And third, lo and behold, the next line is "China has gone on the defensive" so I'm not the only one who got that impression. But remember what your Mom taught you - two wrongs don't make a right, or in this case, one f-up by the U.S. doesn't make the toothpaste, and the dog food, and the toys from China acceptable.
