Korean TV news (which I just saw moments ago) re****ted that
Chinese government announced that parasites were found in
kimchi im****ted to China from Korea, that recall was mandated,
etc. The same news also re****ted that there was no kimchi
ex****ted from Korea to China this year, that higiene inspection
in Korean kimchi factories are such that it is highly unlikely
any parasites be found, that Korean kimchi are ex****ted to
countries like Japan where higiene inspection is even tougher,
that it's possible some kimchi may have been taken into
China by small time vendors (bo-tta-ry chang-saa).
