From melamine to meth

Are you sure China is our friend?
MEXICO CITY - Until recently, Zhenli Ye Gon was an unknown Chinese-born businessman who lived quietly in one of Mexico City's most exclusive neighborhoods.

Today, he's an international fugitive, accused of supplying Mexican drug cartels with tons of chemicals used to flood the United States with methamphetamine.

When Mexican agents raided his Mediterranean-style mansion in the posh Las Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood in March, they discovered $205 million in U.S. currency.

All cash. Mostly $100 bills.

We need to start checking the rest of the alphabet to see what else China is doing.....
