"China will return three containers of substandard medical supplies donated by US charity organizations, which included stained bedding, used surgical clothes and expired equipment.

Some of the medical equipment had a use-by date of 1998, while others items were found to have passed their probationary period after three checks in November by the State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau. Dirty quilts and clothes were also found, the paper said.

The Associated Press on Friday quoted an anonymous official from the federation as saying the donations came from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah. The organization was not available for comment. "

what do those stingy bastards send to Africa?

You know they will try to spin this as ungrateful heathens rejecting their charity...like who wouldn't be thrilled to sleep on someone's piss stained mattress??

The mind fucking BOGGLES, sometimes!

They've had more history with our off and on corrupt administrations.

That would serve us right. Good 'Ole Christian religions doing some compassionate evil. An eye for an eye.

of the 80s - where a company would sell products no longer deemed safe in the US to third world countries... such as bad baby formula and the like. Rather than take a total loss - they would sell it more cheaply or "dump" it - knowing there were health and safety risks, but not caring.

Bet in this case some LSD businessperson, or a business affiliated with the LSD - made a big "donation" and received a nice big tax deduction (thus getting "value") for these goods, which the charity then distributed. So now the charity, rather than the business, gets the bad press for the dumping... which will be spun as "good intentions" as opposed to the negative press that corporate dumping gets.
