That article reads like an 8 year old wrote it. Western "palettes".
That said, I do not buy any food from China. I have returned mandarin oranges to Costco after I noticed their origin. Same goes for seafood, mushrooms, candy etc. What JYL said.
And what vash said too - a lot of Chinese food is made in California. I can find oyster mushrooms, fresh egg noodles, soy sauce etc. all from CA and the US.
