Say what you will about Chinese food and drug safety, but when the bad press starts being bad for business, they don't screw around.
China’s former top drug regulator was sentenced to death Tuesday for taking bribes to approve untested medicines, as the country’s main quality control agency announced its first recall system targeting unsafe food products.
The developments are among the most dramatic steps Beijing has publicly taken to address domestic and international alarm over shoddy and unsafe Chinese goods — from pet-food ingredients and toothpaste mixed with industrial chemicals to tainted antibiotics.
Not that I'm big on the death penalty, but it beats the "Golden Parachute" guys get on this side of the ocean.
