Beware of tainted milk powder

RECENTLY, I read a Chinese news with interest. It said, Chinese public need to go nearby clinic to buy infant milk powder rather than conventional shopping at supermarkets. The Chinese authority's latest effort to correct errant diary product manufacturing companies. By this latest law, Chinese people will be given milk powder as a prescription of other drugs. It is something strange and new strategy to eradicate tainted milk powder on the shelf of market. Is it easy to comply in real world? The question hit me after reading. China is world leading diary product manufacturing country. There will be huge stock pile of diary product on shelf and warehouse. Unless they are systematically destroyed by Chinese authority, I think the businessmen will not surrender their assets easily drained away. Then, vulnerable poorer neighbor countries are put at the severe risk of getting Chinese made milk powder through illegal border trade. I don't think we have a relevant authority that can prevent illegal/unsafe food products coming in from Chinese borders. As such, our people's health risk are compromising against Chinese made cheap milk powder. May our children free from Chinese made tainted milk powder by the help of authority.
