Was interested to read that China has signed off on a UN World Heritage listing for the Potala and all its contents, as well as the Jokhang Temple, in Lhasa:

I have been startled to hear that the same Chinese don't want to pay for the milk we send them . My mum used to make a rice pudding with milk , not bad as I recall . Guess the Chinese use water , bet there is more food content in their water than our milk along with a happy mix of every other product known to man .

Think they purchase a lot of baby food powder from Aussie, a quick check on google:

"At the moment this year, it's around an $18 billion infant formula market in China,"

"By 2018, that'll be around $33 billion.

More than 2 million tonnes of dairy products roll off the trans-Tasman multinational's production lines annually to markets in more than 100 countries, but the company's recent joint venture with China is the jewel in the crown.

"We've invested $NZ740 million to buy an 18.8 per cent stake in Beingmate, the largest infant formula player in the Chinese market with around a 10 per cent share," Ms Swales said.

another site in part says:

Australia’s Freedom Foods Group has launched ‘Australia’s Own Kid’s Milk’, its first branded retail food product for the Chinese market, in China and Australia.

The product is being marketed in China by Shenzhen JiaLiLe Food Company (Shenzhen JLL), the group behind one of the largest selling ready-to-drink beverages in China. It is the first product launch by the two companies, who have entered into a 50-year marketing and distribution agreement.

Each year, China buys more than US$100 billion of imported food from across the globe,’ she said. ‘In the face of competition from the US, Europe and New Zealand, winning in China requires an investment in brand and relationship building.’

On 16–20 March 2015, four Australian dairy companies will join 19 other Australian companies at Premium Australia, a three-city travelling showcase of premium Australian food and beverages.
