Will this affect us at all (China)...?

I just read this article on reuters and it concerned me a bit, so I thought I'd get some others' opinions. Thanks.

US as consumers have been and will be affected by this in one way or another theres no way around it. There are just so many goods that come in from China. From food to babys bottles..

I work directly in the middle of this...Sort of.... I buy ingredients from China and sell them here in the US. The olympics and anti-dumping laws have affected us MUCH more than this ever will. During the Olympics prices went up 100% on most ingredients. It has now came back down close to where it was previously.

As far as the tainted Milk Products, that wont affect the US all that much as far as finished goods go...BUT it will affect our dairy prices at some point as CHINA will start to import more and more milk products. In fact this started about 2 years ago and has continued.

IMO I dont feel consumers will feel much if any backlash on this.
