Regarding the Feb. 1 front-page article "Poisonings from tainted Chinese 'gyoza' ": Admittedly Tianyang Food and its ilk (along with the Chinese government) have miles to go in terms of ensuring product safety and accepting responsibility once something goes awry. But it takes two to tango, as they say.
Japanese and other companies must stop their head-in-the-sand attitude toward safety risks. The media, including The Japan Times, should be helping more by addressing the full story instead of taking the easy "big bad China" route.
