BEIJING - Under pressure after a U.S. move against Chinese seafood and a huge recall of Chinese toothpaste in Japan, Beijing urged trade partners on Friday to accept its products unless they violate contract terms or local regulations.

China also announced the appointment of a new health minister, a Paris-trained scientist and only the second non-Party member to be named to a ministerial post since the 1970s, but gave no reason for the change.

(1) Sure, sure, a "non Communist" is in power in a Communist country

(2) What is the difference between being "Paris trained" (land o' Pol Pot) and being a Communist anyway?

It would seem now would be a good time for some small farmers to get busy and form some kind of coop to market their food products directly to the public.
