(Bad) good China

[mahnmut]

Wow, Mattel said sorry to China:

Mattel Inc. tried to save face Friday with Chinese officials, taking the blame for the recent recalls of millions of Chinese-made toys as it strives to mend a strained relationship with the nation that makes most of its toys and fattens its profit.

The world's largest toy maker sent a top executive to personally apologize to China's product safety chief, Li Changjang, as reporters and company lawyers looked on. ...

So China is not always the bad demon who chases every freedom loving citizen of the democratic world? How surprising... It's even more surprising that they got an apology. Or is it? The apology was inevitable and necessary. Unless Mattel would be OK about sacrificing the Chinese market.
