AMERICANS are open to Chinese goods, poll finds - (New York Times)
October 22, 2007 – 6:23 pmWASHINGTON — Recent disclosures about tainted food, lead-coated toys and other dangerous imports from China have caused some concern among American consumers but not a wholesale rejection of Chinese-made goods, according to a New York Times/CBS News poll.
The story says that the poll, conducted Oct. 12-16, found that 35 percent of respondents viewed Chinese imports as more dangerous than products from other countries. But a majority, 55 percent, said the recent wave of recalls just created a perception that Chinese imports are more harmful than imports from other countries.
