China Not Happy with Romney’s ‘Blame-China’ Views

The World

China’s official news agency has let it be known that it does not like Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s “blame China game.”

The Xinhua news agency, essentially a mouthpiece for Beijing, said Romney’s pledges, if elected, to brand China a “currency manipulator” and to curb China’s rise as a regional power are poisoning the general atmosphere of US-China relations.

Anchor Marco Werman talks to The World’s Mary Kay Magistad about the Chinese reaction to Romney’s tough talk.
