It is reported that Barack proposed to ban China-made toys. This is not a good way to solve any problems.
Nobody likes to buy problematic toys. Some toys made in China have problems. However, responsibility must be shared by American designers, too. They chose to make those toys there because they want cost cheap. They knew conditions of those factories were not satisfactory. Therefore, in order to produce safe toys, American designers must specify their standard and let Chinese know. It's not fair to blame China only.
Also, such a ban not only hurts China, but also hurts some people in America, one such group is toy industry. Such a ban does not really produce safe toy to customers here. Condition of factories in other developing countries are not up to standard as well. What if toys come from those places?
Barack's ban really does not solve the problem. It is offensive. As I said several times, Barack has not express his vision that is fundmentally different from others. Now, he just look like a normal politician.
