You make a veryyyyy good point about us being careful of what comes from China.
From their track record already, they clearly do not care about quality standards of their products- or contamination- especially when it concerns shipments out to other countries -- especially to the West. Who knows if some of them don't even intentionally contaminate some shipments because of hatred towards Westerners.
As you know, The United States is not very well-liked by most of the World because of our past corporate arrogance and lack of diplomacy. (I'm sure many pompous corporate CEO's that travel abroad give everyone outside of the U.S. a right to call us all "ugly Americans" as well- making things worse for the ordinary American )
Best to buy Non-GMO, Organic American as much as possible. If you can grow your own 21st century "Victory Garden" -- vegetables herbs and fruits on the tiniest plot of land in your back yard-- or a big pot with natural fertilizer, that's far better than relying on produce from questionable sources.
