This is unfortunate, because resurgent nativism would have disastrous consequences for America’s economic future.Media demagoguery...
...group of lawyers situated around China has agreed to represent parents who are now trying to win compensation from Sanlu. They say the legal responsibility likely extends beyond the milk producers. "The [government's] quality control departments are probably responsible for the tragedy. It's unlikely that the whole thing consists of an independent crime committed by the dairy farmers", says Li Fangping, one of the Beijing-based lawyers who will be representing the parent group. "The poisonous milk powder was allowed in the market for so long and the scale of consequences is huge...
