Read the text carefully then do the activitiesCounterfeiting in China With the rapid economic growth of China in the last one and half decades, there is a "made in China" product in almost every household in the world. This high demand for "made in China" products is bolstered by the fact that they are cheap compared with similar products made in the developed countries. However, recently, Chinese made products are making the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The high demand for "made in China" products has caused the Chinese to compromise on quality and safety. This has raised alarms all over the world. It has been discovered that many Chinese exports, particularly food products to many parts of the world, have been tainted with chemicals not approved for human consumption. In the case of the well-publicized pet food imports from China to the US, thousands of pets died as a result of eating these contaminated products. This happened not only in the US but also in Canada and South Africa. Imported Chinese toys have high levels of toxicity. This is particularly dangerous because these are toys for children who are likely to put anything into their mouths. This requires that products made for children should be very safe and producers and regulators must both adhere to very high safety standards.
