I just got back from a Friday night visit to Carrefour and noted that the company is not taking any risks during the melamine crisis and has removed all Chinese milk products.
But you can still buy milk: there is a large supply of French milk at (what I assume) are discounted prices. RMB 16.30 does not seem to be much for a liter of imported milk (about EUR 1.60)

Scary story, especially since dutch lady seems to be involved as well..
By the way cool that you will be a guest @ P&W tonight.. looking forward to see the show!
I was at the Zhongshan Carrefour the other day, and saw shelves full of milk. Is this confined to your location?
