With unemployment in the U.S. still increasing, the Obama Administration is under pressure to take more action to preserve and create American jobs. Beijing's leadership, though not elected, can also be surprisingly reactive to public opinion, and the days following Washington's tariff announcement have seen an outpouring of criticism of the U.S. decision in the Chinese press and on the blogosphere.
