This is the country who is holding America's national debt in the palm of their hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John,
What an outrage! I may have to take a "news" break before I have a "news" breakdown!
Lord help us all!
Geez~ what's next?

As long as the world continues its demands for cheap goods – China will continue making them through these shady business practices. Quality products cost money to make that many of us are not willing or can't pay. The only solution I see is to boycott anything made in China (I'm Chinese and that's what my mom always tells me). The country is so big I can't see it being able to regulate everything. Heck so much bootleg products come from there still so the government obviously can't do their job.

Not only is this scary but it so sad. How can people be so evil? Yet a couple of evil people have the power to ruin a huge economy – I will do my best to avoid buying chinese products at least until my confidence has been regained. One can never be too safe when they have young children and I suspect many feel the same way.

As much as we may have issues with China, canada can go screw itself in its own election debacles, we probably need to become more politically aligned with China before they jump into the Chavez, Putin alignment.

Melissa,,, If China stopped shipping goods to the USA, America would need a 700 quatrillion rescue.
Russia and China could destroy America by calling their loans!

I have to wonder if they will ever get that there is more to a countries success than the superficial facades. If they put as much money that we give them with our one sided trade policy into establishing standards and rules for food,we wouldn't have dead animals from their products and they wouldn't have dead babies. They can say all they want but in the end they only have themselves to blame and the facade of the Olympic games is long gone.

@ Gary and what...America is suppose to keep buying their shoddy products because of that threat? I didn't say outlaw them from sending products over. They can send what they want but if nobody buys it and they'll either have to quit sending stuff over or change their products. We do live in a capitalist society so we can choose which companies we want to support. If they don't change their business practices, then they'll fail.

China's crimes against their own people are just astounding.

China needs to have oversight and regulatory organizations like the US has to ensure that products are tested and do not contain unknown ingredients that will sicken and kill people or animals. If China cannot police its product they sell to us, we need to quit buying – its not just our wallets on the line here, its our lives as well and those of our children.
