Same here. Their medical research facilities have next to no safety procedures. When I was living in China, some of my buddies were genetic engineers. Their current project was working on increasing nutritional yield of tomatos, but their previous project was something (they wouldn't tell me what) with E-coli. I looked at the type of safety procedures they had in their lab (oh, yeah, they also just let me in the lab), and asked if they got sick when working with E-coli. "No, no, we didn't get sick. We just have... uh... I don't know the English. La Duzi. We had much La Duzi." La Duzi is literally translated as "spicy stomach." So they were all sick with explosive diarrhoea while working with E-coli.
