Ha! Ha! Reliability of Sri Lankan testing services !!!! (That is assuming the Independent 3rd patry testing service is truly independent and not vulnerable to bribing or bullying). That is why I have such low opinion about my mother country.

Please note, the third party tester was chosen by the Chink Supplier.
The result, of course, was pre-determined!!!!
