I think all Chinese goods should be taken off of the U.S. market until they are proven worthy. Fake Chinese medications that made it into American pharmacies almost killed my mother-in-law.
I had a GE microwave that failed after 13 months. I thought it had a lifetime warranty but after reading the small print it was a "limited lifetime warranty" The only things covered for a lifetime were the hinges, door handle and power cord. The rest was covered for 12 months. I turned it around and was appalled to see the made in China sticker on the back of a GE appliance! I also had an Igloo stainless steel bar fridge fail after 8 months with nearly the same warranty as the GE appliance. I was simply out the money on the GE but got a new Igloo fridge which failed again after 14 months. It could have caught my garage on fire as it was a smoker! Doesn't anybody take pride in workmanship these days? I think fake Chinese fossils, meteorites, artifacts, gemstones and anything else they can make a buck on are the least of our concerns! I am sure people have died due to bogus Chinese medications. I won't touch generic meds! It seems these days our own government cares very little otherwise they would do something about it.

Half of the "fossils" coming out of China now are bogus. I wouldn't touch a Chinese fossil with the proverbial ten-foot pole.
