WASHINGTON, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress and Chinese policymakers should think carefully before taking action that could damage the U.S.-China trade relationship, U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab said on Wednesday.
 
In a speech to a women's group, Schwab warned that legislation was a "crude tool" to address U.S. concerns about China trade and product safety.
 
But she also said there were worrisome signs that China was "backsliding" on market-oriented reforms in favor of promoting industrial "national champions."

Wasn't the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative created by legislation?  Does that mean the USTR is a "crude tool?"

And U.S. food safety laws.  Are they "crude tools?"
