I'm not following you here.

Careful there.  While it's true that anybody can successfully perform MITM who has control of a root CA that's trusted by your browser, *and* it's been known to occur in reality sometimes, it is somewhat rare and unusual.  Default root CA lists in modern OSes and browsers don't include China Post, or whatever you said, and other such sketchy CA's.
