The USA might be sensationalizing things a bit, but I think the underlying truth that Chinese products are exported without much quality control is true. Both countries need each other so much, but while for America China helps keep inflation low and allows us to deficit spend, China's (government's) very survival is tied with maintaining high growth through massive amounts of exports. This seems that rather than ducking their head, apologizing, and implementing reforms China wants to escalate this into a trade war, which would knock China's growth down a few percentage points, and what resulted could shake this country (exposing bad debts, unemployment / social unrest, etc). China is playing with fire. </p>
