Someone correct me if I am wrong here. 
Is China still considered a "developing country" and exempt from certain
regulatory rules?

Well Bill......
I'm glad you got that off your chest!  I agree with you but politicians
do DO STUPID THINGS.  I don't think the facts will sway them now.  Even
worse, come July 1, 2006 they will probably pick on a BIG AMERICAN and a
BIG CHINESE company that are slow to convert and CRUCIFY THEM with
TOTALLY UNREASONABLE FINES and RESTRICTIONS.  Politicians are like that
and they don't like us and the Chinese right now.  They will want to
show that they are in charge and that the entire world will have to bow
to their will.
This is NOT a Health, Environment or Safety issue - - THIS IS POLITICS
and ECONOMICS !!

Save your energy until after July, 2006 and let's see what happens.
Maybe then we can write the editorials to the EU public about all the
higher prices they are paying, complements of their EU Politicians.  The
French and Danish Publics have already shot down their new EU
Constitution and the Italians are suffering because they can't devalue
the currency.  Just be patient!
