First lesson to learn, don't buy Chinese tea, avoid it like the plague, Chinese tea is bad for your health. If the country was to ban Chinese tea packaging, I bet it would reduce the methamphetamine problem immediately.
These two will cry when ever seeing a Chinese tea bag, also they may get a pardon within the 30 years.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

If the country was to ban the Chinese, many problems would be reduced immediately.
