Media hype about Safety of Chinese products

With Christmas around the corner, we have heard more and more reports and warnings about cheap Chinese goods. From lead paint to faulty tires, no one seems surprised at the reports about harmful Chinese-made products. On Tuesday, 14 agreements were made between the U.S. and China on various economic issues. However, China says that the U.S. is guilty of "protectionism," claiming the media hype against Chinese products was overblown. Knowing the way U.S. media is, this is probably largely true- but we don't have control over what they say.
