All you have to do is look at crash tests of Chinese cars to understand that the attitude in their manufacturing business is that one hunk of grey metal is as good as another, and the better one is the cheaper one. From that, it's safe to conclude that the only concern is cost in other areas of industry. If lead paint saves a tenth of a cent per children's toy? That's $10,000 saved when you make ten million of them. Test for mercury in fish? Nah, that would just mean you have to throw some out.
