Just saw this Associated Press image on the Wall Street Journal:
It seems there is some uproar in the US about some Chinese-made drywall? I imagine there is some validity to the claims, but regardless if these products were dangerous or not, it can make our situation awkward.
When issues of trade relations with the US come up - such as this, and the tire tariffs a few weeks back - we are inevitably thrust into the position of US spokesperson with the Chinese people we know. They may like the US overall, but they do not like when China's business is damaged and its image tarnished. So how am I supposed to respond? Blame China for selling unsafe products, or blame the US for exploiting the situation? Seems like a lose-lose to me.
