US congressional anger over China's currency and trade practices boiled over last week as senators vowed to pass legislation soon and lashed out at President Barack Obama's administration for failing to get tough with Beijing.
Senator Charles Schumer told the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a watchdog group appointed by Congress, that it was time for lawmakers to 'put up or shut up'.
Schumer told the commission that he and other colleagues would push for a vote "in the next two weeks" on legislation that would allow the Commerce Department to use anti-dumping and countervailing duty laws against China or any other country with a fundamentally misaligned exchange rate.
