China Executes Food-Safety Chief

The execution of Zheng Xiaoyu, 62, was confirmed by state media after the Supreme People’s Court approved the death sentence on charges that he took Rmb6.5m ($855,094) in bribes from eight pharmaceuticals companies. Mr Zheng is the most senior central government official to be executed since 2000 and the harsh penalty and swift enforcement, after an initial trial in May, underlines mounting government concern about the scandals that have damaged the reputation of Chinese products.

That's one way to get it straightened out, I guess.  Although hanging pickpockets in England only attracted more pickpockets to the hangings.

In the US the guy would have been imprisoned and the products recalled.  In China they execute the top guy and hope for the best.  Hard on this dude, but I doubt it'll amount to a hill of rice.
