The Problem with China

Well, today I figured out the problem with Chinese made goods. It seems China does not separate their industries and so they have auto manufacturers producing canned fruit. Yes, it's true and I will share an prime example.

Today, we were eating Mandarin Orange slices for lunch. We had purchased a different brand than normal, probably because they were on sale, and we were quite surprised with our findings. The oranges were processed by a company called "3 Diamond". After tasting the oranges and discovering they were much more tart than our normal brand (Dole), I looked on the label to see the ingredients. Right below the ingredients the label listed the manufacturer as "Mitsubishi" and stated the oranges were a product of China.

Now you can say that is just a coincidence, but think about it. Mitsubishi the automaker's logo is "3 Diamonds" and these were processed by the Mitsubishi International Corporation and branded "3 Diamonds".

Maybe China should concentrate on separating their industries and then they could produce less tainted goods.
