At first reading I thought the death penalty was unusually harsh. Then I read on, and realized how many deaths had occurred because of this corrupt man. The one that really got me was the eleven babies that died from drinking powdered milk that had zero nutritional value. They died from malnutrition! Unbelievable. This is an absolutely horrible situation. Sherry |

Sherry Problem is, it is probably less this guys fault than the whole system but his death will be seen (or they will spin it as ) the problem being "dealth with" instead of FIXED. Just one more reason though why we shouldn't be importing anything edible from China. |

I would prefer it if his sentence would be changed to life imprisonment, though. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

I would prefer it if his sentence would be changed to life imprisonment, though. I'm glad something is being done. I agree with you that putting him to death by itself won't really solve anything, but they're pretty execution- happy in China. I thought this country was bad, but according to Amnesty International, China far outstrips most other countries in the number of executions. But if it also means they're really going to overhaul their food safety system, it might make a real difference. I'm sure nobody there is happy that their reputation is in the toilet world-wide. Funny they didn't mention the Panamanians who died from poisoned medicines shipped from China. That was a pretty big tragedy, too. Joyce |

Given China's "justice system", I don't even think this guy is responsible for everything. Can you say scapegoat? -- Victor M.

That's what I was thinking too. I can't question that he is/was corrupt; that's a rampant problem in China. But I doubt he is the only one to blame for the deaths. He's just the one who was selected to pay the price. |
