    Why a dragon?

    Could have been a pic of a panda, the great wallof china , terracotta soldiers, or tanks in tienamen square to ensure we understood you meant that china and not some other china.

Or are we to presume that hardware produced in these latter countries is, ipso facto, somehow safer than that produced in China ?...
