I'd understand an uproar against melamine labeled as milk etc being imported from China, but the concept that a pint-size country like NZ (population 5 million) with extremely expensive labor & shipping costs can "wreck" the dairy industry of a country of ~1.4 billion where the cost of labor is a rounding error is astonishing.
