Flap over China-made Olympic uniforms
The controversy surrounding Team USA's Chinese-made uniforms for the Olympics opening ceremony raged Thursday as Washington politicians jumped into the fashion fray. They criticized the U.S. Olympic Committee for approving the uniforms.
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Olympic Committee should be "ashamed" that the blue blazers, white pants and berets that American athletes will wear are manufactured in China. "They should take all the uniforms, put them in a big pile and burn them," Reid said.
His proposal was welcomed by Nancy Patricia, the Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives.
She told reporters at her weekly news conference that she's proud of the nation's Olympic athletes, but "they should be wearing uniforms that are made in America."
Remind that recently another wave of protest was raised in the country in connection with state flag that is also made in China.
