"Safer and better" than what? you may be asking yourself.
After a year of food (and toy) safety problems on their record including tainted seafood, the Chinese government is instituting programs and regulations to restore confidence in the safety of their seafood exports. Among the measures are a crackdown on the use of illegal antibiotics that have been shown to cause cancer and a focus on pollution and water-quality problems.
Let's hope they get it together, since much of the world has to turn to China's land-based fish farms as ocean waters become increasingly depleted by overfishing.

"Safer and better" than what?"
Funny you should mention that... it was my first thought.
Even if it is safer and better it still is from 1) the other side of the world, 2) a country that is known for "Hazardous and Worse". I'll pass.
