China knows how to deal with corrupt officials
 

BEIJING - China executed a former director of its food and drug agency Tuesday for approving fake medicine in exchange for cash, illustrating how serious Beijing is about tackling product safety, while officials announced steps to safeguard food at next summer's Olympic Games.

Scooter would have really suffered in China.

I cant believe they are giving them an olympics.

China will execute you and then send your family the bill to pay for the bullet that killed you.

China sucks. It's on my 'places to never visit' list...

I wonder if it was done on one of their infamous mobile execution buses

Jebus. That's an eye-opener.

Cost: $37,500 to $75,000, depending on vehicle's size Length: 20 to 26 feet Top speed: 65 to 80 mph

THREE SECTIONS
Execution chamber: in the back, with blacked-out windows; seats beside the stretcher for a court doctor and guards; sterilizer for injection equipment; wash basin.

Observation area: in the middle, with a glass window separating it from execution area; can accommodate six people; official-in-charge oversees the execution through monitors connected to the prisoner and gives instruction via walkie-talkie.

Driver area

Production to date: at least 40 vehicles, made by Jinguan and two other companies in Jiangsu and Shandong provinces.

Makers of the death vans say the vehicles and injections are a civilized alternative to the firing squad, ending the life of the condemned more quickly, clinically and safely. The switch from gunshots to injections is a sign that China "promotes human rights now," says Kang Zhongwen, who designed the Jinguan Automobile death van. :disgust

You do realize this guy they killed was repsonsible for the tainted crap we get here in America.

There is a lot more to the story than that. He accepted bribes to allow drugs to pass and be sold to the public.

Also:
"Zheng, who headed the administration from 1998 to 2005, was found guilty of accepting bribes from firms to register their products without making them undergo the necessary checks."

I got this from email today. Damn I love his Lake Martin home. Think I'll pass by it when I go back home later this year to see it in person.http://www.tallassee.com/squishy.jpg

This is nothing new. If you want to read some interesting literature you should check out books about Mao Tse-tung the father of Chinese communism. Crazy things go on there.

How can you be so sure.. You honestly think "one" guy is responsible for mass scale bribery inside China? China needed a scape goat, maybe the guy was guilty, but their entire system is just as guilty.

yea, they don't fuck around....

and they'll sell your organs...

He personally took bribes. As a result HUNDREDS of people died. I guess because they were Chinese it doesn't matter to you. Fact is that if I went into a store and inserted anti-freeze into food and people died I'd get the death penalty here in the US.

hell if we did that we wouldnt have anyone left in the white house, the house or the senate

Im liking the idea

Free Tibet!

Hah! That's great. :1orglaugh

Unbelievably atrocious.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh That would be breath of fresh air...

Maybe then the country would have a chance of getting normalised, start paying it's debts and begin on the track to having some credibility :thumbsup

OK.. It sounds harsh - but when someone is responsible for the distribution of pharam products and these have not been tested, - that's very severe and can be life-threatening to millions of people.

You're right about that!

In the US you get a book deal and cushy job at a lobbyist firm for being corrupt.

anyone that has spent any amount of time in corrupt shit holes will tell you that "HE" was nothing more than a single cog in a massive machine that outlived its usefulness and/or needed to be sacrificed for the greater good.

"HE" is/was not the problem in China. China is one of the most notoriously corrupt countries on the planet and that doesn't happen as a result of a few random cases, it happens because corruption IS the system, from top to bottom.

yes. corruption is system. complete agree.
