The problem has been traced back to a Chinese supplier.

Funny how you choose to compare a country, a culture, to an idea or ideology.

So you're saying every person who's interested in running a successful business doesn't care about safety?

That's quite a broad brush you got there.

Seems to me I recall some socialists and communists who were pretty reckless - remember the N1 rocket? Pol Pot (to be fair, he wasn't so much reckless as pathological)?

Further, what's your definition of "capitalist"?

You may want to read up on how much this happens in engineering circles when dealing with Chinese suppliers. It's common to see the test articles come back perfect, and the first few runs being in spec, and if you don't constantly check, they'll slowly let the quality (conformance to spec) degrade, and you have to hold their feet to the fire, show them in the contract where they're not meeting requirements. It's common for these vendors to try to get away with what they can.

Guess that doesn't meet with whatever ideological stance you've got stuck in your head.

You are a fool making the mistake of confusing a trend for an absolute guarantee. Nowhere did I say EVERY. Pathetic. Do better.
