Is this a bad thing? Considering that Mainland China has a big problem feeding her huge population is any loss of population a bad thing? Would not this mean LESS people to feed?

Mainland China could afford to lose thru their deaths half of her population and she would be considerably better off overall as a nation.

So why should they care if people die from tainted food.

And PS one of my pet peeves, subscription required. Sorry but I cannot print the entire article.
