Recently, there was a big issue about excessive amount of melamine found in Chinese food products, especially in milk. Because of this, four babies have died, and now everywhere in the world where Chinese foodstuff is imported, it is strictly inpectes for the amount of melamine in food.
Just as the first impression is crucial within personal relations, the first impression is also very important among international relation. However, because of this unpleasant which happened in China, it has generated negative effects concerning Chinas food quality.
From now on, most of people all over the world will hardly trust the quality of Chinese foodstuff. Moreover, some skeptical people will tend to scrutinize the quality of other things that are impoted from China. China has been emerging as a shining star in this century, but it looks like this star may not stay in the realm of success for long.
China is suffering from various factors. Many companies from world will stop importing from China unless the Chinese inspect their foodstuff under more stringent measures. Some manufactures who were using Chinese milk as an ingredient for their products may have a big problem in producing manufactured goods. They have to source around for another alternative which might be more expensive. Also this unpleasant incident will damage the image of China in future. Many companies around the world were fond of Chinese products as Chinese currency was very low, so the products were cheaper. Despite this advantage, they will now have to look for ways to manage and maintain their business in a competitive environment without using Chinese products.
China will have to work on how they will recover their bad impression. One of the lessons we can learn from this safety scare is that, other's positive or negative impressions about us may influence and affect our whole life. Even though there is a possibility that the first impression can be changed, the possibility of change is very rare and it might thake a long time for it to change.
