If China was suppose to start making toys without lead paint in them or food that isn't poisonous, their cost of production are going to go up, and that means prices at Wal-Mart, here in the United States are going to go up too, so I would say China is our greatest friend right now, they are keeping prices low.Jebus... Hell, if someone offered me free poison in my food I would probably turn it down. Just a hunch, I wonder if this reporter would do the same considering her logic? Erin Burnett is very easy to look at, but I think she might have hugged too many China made, Wal Mart sold, lead paint tainted Elmo Dolls as a child, because she is certainly presenting a bizarre report on this issue. Yes, it is nice that you can buy a toy car for your kid for $7, but the story behind that toy is quite incredible, North American's don't make toys anymore, we contract that work out to the lowest bidding slave drivers in countries far, far away. I think that that's wrong, but I am a horrible business man, you don't make billions from owning a heart.
If you have kids, and they have toys, you best make note of this massive list of recalled toys. Unfortunately the only way to avoid toys from China - that I can think of - get out your old woodworking kit and start building them yourself.

3. Oh no - heaven forbid that anyone, especially a super-power like america - give a smaller, less stable country the chance to make some money and some power. Even more so after they've just broken away from a terrible regime that saw many people suffering.
Jesus - no wonder the rest of the world can't stand Americans
