Will Singapore restrict sales of baby formula to PRC too?

[lesMISERABLES]

Several countries restrict baby formula sales to Chinese consumers

Chinese consumers have been cleaning out stocks of baby formula abroad in the country's ongoing domestic food safety scare, leading several countries imposing purchase restrictions on Chinese consumers, state-run China News Service reports.


Macau is the latest region to put a lid on the baby food shopping bonanza. Only local residents with children under the age of one will be able to buy at least five cans a month, CNS said.


In January, Hong Kong also announced purchase limits for baby formula, as well as adopting other measures to stamp out parallel exports of such products, which are in high demand in China.


American retailers Target and Wal-Mart introduced similar restrictions last June, and were followed by their counterparts in Australia's Sydney, the Netherlands and Germany, CNS said.
New Zealand tightened its dairy product exports in September in response to Chinese parents placing online orders for baby formula from foreign countries.

The gov't will eventually have to ask and answer the questions stated below:

1. Do we want to see our local Sinkie babies starve to death?

2. Is it better to let the Chink babies starve to death in China?

3. If we let the Chink babies starve to death in China, what are the possible long term consequences? Would China impose economic sanctions on Sinkieland? Would China send in it's aircraft carrier and eventually threaten Sinkieland?

4. If China sends in it's aircraft carrier threatening Sinkieland, will our strongest ally The United States of America help us defend Sinkieland?

The long term consequence is, there will not be enough PRC imports to screw sinkies. So don't worry, they will not ban the sales of milk powder to the PRCs

I have seen PRC's packing & mailing tins of milk powder at the Post Office before, was thinking to myself, all the inconvenience of sending it out plus the milk powder not cheap these days; the profit margin in PRC must be high or they are having shortages.

It's part of their global sourcing network.

The importers in China, both legal and smugglers, can solicit online to any PRCians living overseas to buy and mail the milk powders to them. The PRCians overseas make a profit when they are paid by the importers. The importers sell them online with a huge profit margin to the parents with babies in China. PRCians are scattered all around the world as students, prostitutes, construction workers, etc..., thus, there won't be a shortage of PRCians buying up milk powders from store shelves around the globe.

Most are for their friends and relatives who made the requests. The PRCs here are just doing them a deed of convenience. From this, you can see how fucked up their milk powder is in china.

surprisingly there are no news reports of babies milk shortages in Singapore?

maybe there are not many babies in SGP?

Some of the soaps, shampoos and toothpastes are made in China. Beware.
