Review of the year
August

Moving to China, the company recalled four batches of one of its infant food lines after local food safety regulators said they had found “excessive amounts of lead” during an inspection.
And Australian academics found that local businesses were struggling to find ways to network with their Chinese market in what has been dubbed the “Asian century” (pictured).
