China executes ex-food and drug chief

BEIJING (AP) — China executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog on Tuesday for approving untested medicine in exchange for cash, the strongest signal yet from Beijing that it is serious about tackling its product safety crisis.

During Zheng Xiaoyu's tenure from 1998 to 2005, the State Food and Drug Administration approved six medicines that turned out to be fake, and the drug-makers used falsified documents to apply for approvals, according to previous state media reports.

It should be about time people realize just who the Communist Chinese really are. Second only to Stalin as mass murderers of men, the press bestowed upon their leader the title "president". His proper title is Chairman of the Communist Party. The greatest sin of their society is being a believer of an invisible man, a crutch...as they would describe it. That belief in a Jesus warrants you be placed in a "Re-education" camp....perhaps for the rest of your life....if you fail to embrace the glorious peoples party they may decide that your existence needs to end....

I have always believed that communism is the perfect government....if only mankind were ants or bees....
