On a serious note, China dumping of good to other countries is ridiculous because they are now hurting the domestic farmer /producer with cheap goods. Maybe German govt should be stringent about its policies.

Sure, then they're better off eating their apples themselves for as to support China's health. The irony behind this globalization thing is that they've now even taken over that fruit business - whereby Germany sure has enough apples, even during this time of the year. THE ONLY way I could accept this is if I knew that there's any sustainability behind their production concepts - however, I guess as we all know, most chinese companies just don't give a damn about environmental aspects - even worse since they are producing food (which by itself is some sort of "innocent"). Look at the crate, the box - underneath those polished apples you'll find a huge piece of plastic foam. The problem I am having with them is their complete ignorance of nature. Be it the packaging or even environmental damagge caused by transporting those apples by plane to Europe & Co. Is it really necessary? LOL.
