“The execution of Zheng Xiaoyu, the former head of China’s State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) who was convicted of taking bribes to approve drugs, was a decisive move by Beijing.”

BUT WHY WAS IT? … Who was supposed to receive the message? Some think it was the Chinese; that is to say get your Ministries in order or get a bullet. But I think it was a public relations stunt and little more. The rest of the world was supposed to see how serious the Chinese are about product safety …. “why they shot this minister!” But they shoot people everyday for less; no I think he was shot to make you feel better about Chinese products. “wow they must be a lot safer because they shot this high ranking dude. …. so I should really feel better.” ….. well do you? I don’t. Few people in China act without orders from above and the higher up you are the more you get orders until you arrive at the top. I blame the top…. Live China Free!

Kent- I agree with you 100%.
