"Yes, but". It's possible for large nations like USA and China to grow rice in heterogenous regions and meet domestic demand with rice grown in low-arsenic regions (California), and export rice grown in high-arsenic regions (Texas). That said, few people trust China to provide good numbers/testing/pro-active enforcement for consumer safety. They are good about applying very tough penalties (including personal executions/death penalty for corporate officers) after quality issues reach a certain level of public outcry. But most issues involve slow poisoning, don't directly kill/maim anyone, and don't reach any level of public outcry, so they go unenforced.
