Daily commentary about China by TIME correspondents.

A Chinese Perspective on Toxic Toothpaste

My friend and former classmate Wang Feng has a nice piece on toxic toothpaste over at the Washington Post's PostGlobal. He writes: "I admit it may be an exaggeration to say that only a major international loss of face will make Beijing clean up its act. But as both a journalist and a consumer in a country where the public almost never learns the full story behind any scandal, I welcome the pressure and the subsequent change that such attention can bring."
