"India, the world's largest manufacturer of generic drugs, has become a busy center for counterfeit and substandard medicines.
"In June, officials at Nigeria's Abuja airport caught a shipment of fake antibiotics, containing no active ingredients, with a 'Made in India' label. Nigerian investigators later said that a Chinese company shipped the drugs via Frankfurt. In a similar incident last year, a shipment of fake anti-malaria drugs from China arrived in Nigeria with an Indian tag.
My comment: This is the only place in hte report that mentions China. There is no need to read the rest.

"Rather than setting off a boom in the U.S. manufacture of replacement lights, the leading replacement lights are compact fluorescents, or CFLs, which are made almost entirely overseas, mostly in China. Consisting of glass tubes twisted into a spiral, they require more hand labor, which is cheaper there. So though they were first developed by American engineers in the 1970s, none of the major brands make CFLs in the United States.
My comment: To read web page 1 is enough.

("Mongolian Buddhism is predominantly the Yellow Hat sect of Buddhism practiced in Tibet and China. But Wallace says it has evolved into its own version, having incorporated the pre-Buddhist religion of tangarism as well as shamanistic influences")
