Zheng Xiaoyu was sentenced to execution for his involvement in the recent "melamine scandal" and other food and safety issues. he was found guilty of accepting bribes from companies who wanted to avoid inspection.
it's encouraging to see the chinese government punish someone who's actions have harmed many people and disgraced the nation. i'd love to see something like that here in the philippines, but we are too catholic and forgiving, corrupt officials get paroled or simply go totally unpunished.
the question is, are executions really going to change things in china? or is it more of a way to save face?
