A couple of days ago I spotted this huge ramen cup being builded in front of the legendary 109 (ichi-maru-kyu in Japanese). The company producing this cup is the very same company that is facing a huge scandal for food adulteration (they used adulterated/contaminated food from China)... Sooner or later I think Japanese and European governments will start to understand that they must check any kind of  product imported from China almost as much as they check the food produced in their own country... they can't blame China if they don't controll what is imported... cheap is not always the best choice when we talk about food...
