Ah, you see...they don't know mainland chinese. Just think about it. 
These are people who are able to still want to sell tainted melamine 
milk, in fact, they hid the stuff that was supposed to have been 
destroyed and now they brought it back out even though they know what it 
will cause to the consumers of the stuff and despite the chinese 
government's executing people responsible for the first instance.

I doubt that Dell would have imagined that such incredibly messed up 
people exist. But yeah, I guess Dell seems to have skipped on some testing.
