China ain’t quite ready for prime time:

China, on the defensive about the safety of its products, lashed out at the United States on Wednesday by claiming its soybean exports contained pesticides, poisonous weeds and dirt and blaming American manufacturer Mattel Inc. in part for lead tainting that prompted the recall of millions of toys.

China is facing a global backlash after discoveries of high levels of chemicals and toxins in Chinese exports ranging from toothpaste and seafood to pet-food ingredients and toys. Beijing has tried to defend its safety record and reassure consumers by highlighting similar problems in other countries.

Never mind that your dogs and cats died from tainted Chinese products. Never mind that we sold you baby toys coated in lead. It’s all your fault.
