I'm sure they are going to have a fair trial and will be given an appropriate sentence:

China arrests men for tainting milk used in baby formula. I'd rather that China spend its money regulating the manufacture of food and other items, than spend it on the bullets inevitably used to mete out "justice" to those who get caught fucking up.

GMB... How long before the American flag is all red? That scares me more than tainted milk.

Spartacus: I don't know. Thing is, W seems to have taken the Soviet Russian approach to governance, so how much of a leap would it be? GMB

Hey, regulations schmegulations! What's good for Chinese business is good for China! They learned from the best!

The Chinese food contaminant of choice seems to be melamine - e.g.,pet food, milk. Melamine contains nitrogen which fools the protein level tests (which measure nitrogen).

Okay, notice how the Chinese first reaction is to cover up and stonewall a la Karl Rove? The reason for this is the character of authoritarian societies- like China, Russia, Nazi Germany, Italian fascism, and Bush's neocon fantasy world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism

dguzman: Those are the rules, but there is also that rule about getting caught: don't...unless you don't mind being taken out back, being shot in the head and having your organs harvested. Just saying.
Bowtiejack: Hmm, W could never admit to making a mistake. Birds of a feather. GMB
