US is trying to improve relations with China for product safety

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission is looking to improve its relationship with the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of China(AQSIQ). O'Brien, director of the Office of International Programs and Intergovernmental Affairs, is on a 2 week trip traveling around China. He stated that “he hoped Chinese manufacturers could adopt modern practices to well manage the whole supply chain, ensure the safety of raw materials and better respond to problems with their products.” 

With all of the recent recall problems in the US, O’Brien is hoping to improve the quality in China. He stated on Chinese products “U.S. citizens generally considered that most of Chinese products were of good-value, safe and with relatively low price, but of course, as the Chinese officials know that there is indeed some problems with certain products.”
