And we're going to do everything we can to stop these problems, period.

And that that's what you're going to enforce.

"I firmly believe that the problems we're now seeing with Chinese-made toys and other consumer products is just a symptom of a much larger problem that must be dealt with in a swift and vigorous way."

I hope we can--in looking forward--pass legislation to try to correct this situation, put standards in place so that people can be assured of the products they buy.

It's time to end the status quo, the business as usual relationship with China.

"I think it's fair to say that an open and transparent system of government, like ours, is less likely to produce defective products."

"Unfortunately, as some others have already noted, 'Made in China' has now become a warning label."

Would you like to have people in China--do you think that is important?

I think that we ought to do here. Until we are sure that the system has changed and won't produce the same sort of products that we've seen.

If you need more statutory authority--and you've said you'll ask us for that. You should use it like a club.

there is this sense that there's been this huge wave of products flowing into the United States

Do you believe you need the authority to enforce these standards that you've articulated?

Chairman, I want to hear you say, 'These products are not going to enter our stores.'

Shoddy, defective and dangerous products being made in China and sold to American consumers has simply got to stop.

And also push the Chinese Government, whether through communications through you and certainly through communications from our Government that we will not tolerate these problems in our products.

we can't just talk about it, that's why I talk about bringing the club out.

We should get very stern and clear, and hit them where it hurts. Hit them in the markets.

one of my growing concerns has been this concentration of our manufacturing and of our economic activity associated with China
