Allen,
Selling at any price IS DUMPING and this is prohibited under GATT and by the WTO.  So, not only are the Chinese selling honey that contains a banned substance, they are also using unfair trading practices.  They got everything they deserved and in my mind  certainly do not command respect.  Last year, a shipment of "Cyprus" honey was tested in the UK, it contained chloramphenicol,  the antibiotic is not available here, this lead to an alert about Cyprus honey.  After inquiries were made, the excuse was that some Chinese honey, that had previously been bottled at the plant responsible, was still in the system and that this was how the Cypriot honey came to have the antibiotic in it.  Yeah right!  So you can see just from this small example how much deceipt is involved in the whole Chinese honey system.
Best regards
Roger White
