I have just arrived in Hong Kong and feel compelled to share an article with you about a toy company, Guangdong Qunxing Toys Joint-stock Co. Ltd., acquiring Sanzhou, a maker of nuclear power plant equipment. That's according to EJInsight writer Raymond Tsoi in his article: "Can you trust a nuclear power equipment maker run by a toy firm?" Talk about diversification; this is like Hasbro buying Lockheed-Martin or Mattel purchasing Boeing.
A.C. Gilbert Atomic Energy Kit
In 1950, the AC Gilbert Company introduced its toy "U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory." It came with a geiger counter and allowed you to detect radioactivity in the various materials that were included. Still, it was just a toy…this is the real thing.
Let's just hope that Guangdon Qunxing applies good quality control measures in their new acquisition.
