Jeremy, you are there in the thick of it. Thoughts, please. Is there media hype to any extent occurring?

Within the above mentioned article is the following quote:

"An official of a trade group, the China National Light Industry Council, argued that responsibility for meeting foreign standards should not lie with Chinese manufacturers.

"The quality of Chinese-made toys with American brands should be the responsibility of the American brand owner, not the Chinese manufacturer," said Zhang Yanfen, the secretary of the council's panel on toy standards."

If this is the attitude then it is time to move the manufacturing to another location. There are things that are more important than low labor cost.
