The problems associated with the contaminated milk are spreading beyond China’s geographic borders and causing the removal of various consumables from the retail shelves:
“BEIJING (AP) _ They were Premier Zhou Enlai’s favorite late-night snack. He loved White Rabbit candy so much he gave a bag to President Nixon during his historic visit to China. But the iconic brand, beloved by generations of Chinese, took a hit after it was linked to the tainted milk scandal.
The Shanghai-based maker of the candy said Friday it had halted production because of suspected melamine contamination. The chewy vanilla-flavored White Rabbit sweets have already been pulled from shelves around Asia and in Britain.”

The tragedy of the thousands of ill children is compounded by an immediate financial impact upon milk related products. However, it also tarnishes China’s reputation in the international marketplace. It is a public embarrassment - and undoubtedly, those who have caused China to ‘lose face’ to this extent will be punished severely.
