Where're the Chinese getting all of this lead?

I reckon the Chinese are trying to do the rest of the world with lead poisoning. I know that regular small doses of it reduces brain-power, which must mean that George W's reliance on Chinese imports has gotten to him in a big way.

They now seem to have it in for Nissan buyers in Japan, who are being given Chinese manufactured freebie lead-coated mugs.

When we've all turned into Cletus from The Simpsons, the Chinese army will come marching in and take over without a shot being fired!

Rednecks are the worst for firing shots. None of this "without a shot being fired" stuff.
Plenty of squealing like pigs though. *strums banjo*

From the lead fairy

They found a 100 year old copy of "how to make it", lead is cheaper than the alternatives currently used in manufacturing.
In Victorian times, all water pipes were lead, lead was a major ingredient of gloss paint, children played with lead toys etc.

I bought a house in 1990 and one of the first jobs I did saw to replace the lead pipes! Gloss paint with lead in it was available until quiet recently (1980's I think).

As to where're its coming from, probably from all the lead we've thrown away and sent to China for recycling.
