Another Melamine-Tainted Milk Scandal in China
2010-1-4 15:46

A new milk safety scandal has broken out in China.

Authorities in Shanghai have closed a dairy company and arrested three
executives, after milk products were found to contain high levels of the
toxic industrial chemical melamine.

According to the state-run Shanghai Daily, melamine was found in milk
powder and condensed milk made by the Shanghai Panda Dairy Co. Ltd.

Melamine is a toxic chemical used for making plastic. When added to food
it can make the protein content appear higher, but it’s highly
detrimental to human health.

Last year, more than 300,000 children were poisoned and at least six died
after drinking the tainted milk, according to Chinese state-run media.

In a similar incident last month, Chinese authorities also arrested three
employees of the Shaanxi Jinqiao Diary Company for producing
melamine-tainted milk.

It's about time that we started to put responsibility on people for various
corporate actions. Too many executives get away with too many things.

You're joking aren't you? They regularly put corporate executives to
death in China. All those responsible for the last round of milk-
nobbling got lethal injections or life with hard labour.

We should do similar things here.

Is this the one you are referring to:
"At least six children died in 2008 after drinking contaminated baby formula
and more than 300,000 were sickened in one of the country's worst food
safety crises."

Anyway, I'm not advocating any specific sentence. I am talking about
accountability and responsibility. This is something which administrators
in the UK can get out of all too easily and seemingly too frequently with
financial reward.

In the west I'd agree but not in China. Get caught doing this sort of
thing in China and it's curtains or not a very nice time for the rest
of your (shortened) natural.

Obviously not. Tell that to all the people who want to reintroduce the
death penalty or increase prison sentences.

I wouldn't have thought that, no. Some people may have, but that's
because all they see and think about is deterrence. Without some sense
that a criminal act is morally wrong, the fact is that the only people
who are "deterred" are the easily frightened.

Agreed. Remember the Potters Bar rail incident? Prescott stood up in
front of the cameras declaring there would be a full public enquiry
and all recommendations will be implemented. Bullshit. The head honcho
of Railtrack should have been shot at dawn in front of the victims
relatives.

Thrown in front of a train, surely?

The truth is that virtually any punishment will work if you have a
policeman at th'elbow.
