    It’s “the enemy” on Fox News, but I don’t think it’s fair to characterize the entire US this way. There are so many safety warning labels on all kinds of products, and a lot of quality enforcement. With government organizations like the FDA, EPA, FCC, OSHA and NIST, and even non-government groups like UL, the US is actually a world leader in safety standards. Many of those organizations are the model that other countries emulate.

    It’s nice to see China doing something similar.

      They are often emulated not because they’re good, but because they’re powerful. :(

        This comment doesn’t make any sense. The organizations I’m talking about are US institutions - they set policy in the US. They don’t have power to make other nations emulate the way they work. That emulation happens because they are good models to follow.
