One thing about China that you don't seem to understand, is that China actually does care about their environment. If anything, they are continually shifting and adjusting their policy. You can't just predict their action based on what they did a few years ago. They also are not close minded and set in ideology like most conservatives in this country are, who does things more to spike people than for any practicality.

.
So we are doubling down on the state run Chinese media while making a dig at conservatives as some how being close minded. Obviously you are implying I am a conservative and by questioning the Chinese run media makes me closed minded. Who knew the inverse of accepting the state run media makes one open minded.

Humm, your name is .....

No I would like to see people in CA get the best for their money not the worst. Fostering junk on people because a business does not want to give away secrets that are safe, is not very people friendly at all. Poor quality does not care about listing the ingredients, but good quality does to keep competitors from making the same thing in China and .... there goes more US jobs and profit.

Large corporate maleficence is common, but most business are small and trying to make a living for themselves and their employees. Another anti-CA business law and actually a anti-US business law. Sorry to hear you are in favor of helping Chinese companies make cheap stuff and US companies lose jobs.

Now I make no Car Care products, so no big deal to me, but to many companies, it is.

Sorry, I have a small business too, and the last thing I'm going to do to my customers is deny their requests to know what's in the bottle I'm selling them. Not only insulting, but potentially dangerous.

Don't need to. KFC is already well known to top the lists of least nutritious fast food out there. And that's saying a lot.

So...if somebody learns and divulges the secret recipe...make something better!

You can get yourself some grilled chicken and green Beans and corn from kfc. Sounds like it can be pretty healthy if you want it to be.

I am interested to know what product you sell/produce as a small business man.

Censorship in China - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are you disputing that China doesn't want to reduce pollution?

Censorship has nothing to do with the topic.

I'm disputing that China will actually reduce pollution and without a free press we will never know if they actually did.

Hot sauce.

Beware anything KFC or any other fast food chain tries to sell as "healthy". From the folks who bring you all manner of processed food, preservatives, tons of sodium, mystery chemical sugar, unidentifiable "food product" (what is that stuff called "meat filling" Taco Bell?)...blah.

All that stuff is what makes it delicious. Just about everything we eat has been "processed" "enriched" or "modified" at one point or another.
