China - Two executed over Melamine contaminated milk

[Yammitor]

I have an unpopular idea  :!:
We import so much junk from China, how about importing something of value for a change  :?: I say we should import some chinese justice and impose in on our glorious leaders.

After a few seconds of thought this seems only fair to me, as it was our leaders  who imported all those chinese goods without asking us ( and FORCED US to buy them ) so therefore we need not ask them about importing chinese justice, we should take a leaf from their book and go for it  :!:    :shock:

Two executed over China contaminated milk

Two men have been executed in China for their roles in a contaminated milk powder scandal that led to the deaths of at least six infants.

Nearly 300,000 children fell ill last year after drinking milk intentionally laced with melamine, which was sold mainly by the now bankrupt Sanlu Group.

Melamine is a toxic industrial compound that can give a fake positive on protein tests.

A total of 21 Sanlu executives were tried and sentenced in January by a court in the northern city of Shijiazhuang for their involvement in the case.

The official Xinhua news agency, citing a court statement, said Zhang Yujun was executed 'for the crime of endangering public safety by dangerous means', while Geng Jinping was convicted of producing and selling toxic food.

It said Zhang produced more than 770 tonnes of melamine-laced protein powder, of which he sold more than 600 tonnes, between July 2007 and August 2008.

Geng sold more than 900 tonnes of tainted milk, Xinhua added.

However, the woman most widely blamed for the tragedy received a sentence of life in jail.

Many families of poisoned children had focused their anger on Sanlu's former general manager, Tian Wenhua, and said at the time they felt betrayed that she would not face execution.

Tian pleaded guilty late last year to charges that did not carry the death sentence.

Xinhua said she had lodged an appeal, but that it had been turned down by the court.

The case was the latest in a string of food safety failures, but the Sanlu milk scandal was also one of the worst and prompted an outpouring of public anger.

Sanlu officials were aware of the melamine problem by early August 2008 but the public was not warned until mid-September as China strove to put on a perfect face for the Beijing Olympics.

Melamine, which can cause kidney stones, is meant to be used in making plastics, fertilisers and even concrete.

"(FORCED us to buy them)"....say what?

That is my failed attempt at humour   :ugeek:

Sheeple love to shift all blame for the mess we have arrived in away from themselves and into the laps of the politicians, as then in the sheeples eyes its not their fault its the politicans fault. At least this is the way it seems to work here in Ireland. From what i can see around me = its a blizzard of sheeple. I think Ireland is infected worse than USA or UK. Ireland is #1 in the world for sheeple dammit. We deserve this fitting title and honourable crown, I insist.  :roll:

I was trying to add some humour, as if i was trying to rouse a rabble of thicko irish sheeple into action, tell them what they want to hear, all sweet talk and no blame on their shoulders, you obviously know the drill already and rumbled me in my act.    Darn you make a bad sheeple.

The sheeple over here are so fecking thick i reckon if i wait for things to get worse and get a small bit of rabble rousing practice in on you lot to brush up my skillz. When the time comes, here in Ireland for action sheeple style. I'll have my rhetoric tone up and ready -e.g. "All we have to do is kick in the door and the whole rotten house will fall in and then we will be home in time christmans "

Don't underestimate the gullibility of the Irish sheeple, remember who is #1 :lol:  :lol:

...uh...okay.
on a serious note about your subject, it concerns me very much that we would would even consider brutal and arbitrarily brutal examples as preferable --so I guess I'm spoiling your fun AND a bad sheeple. Not that I've gotten a well-rounded image of the Chinese, but I've seen enough to know that life is cheap to them, maybe much more so than the west and the fact that these industry managers were punished seems like a political appeasement in a world business environment. They'll have to learn how not to get caught.

...and on the lighter side, you did make me laugh --then after a minute it struck a nerve. ouch. It makes me consider that we don't generally think much about punishment and justice because we've got this whole legal system to do it for us --for all its mighty failings!-- and punishment takes precedence over crime-solving. And since law is a premier zionist trapping, it'd be good to really reach deep for our ideas of justice. I'd be right up front with wanting accountability for poisoning crimes like this one. Every industrializing country goes through this 'life is cheap' problem --not a phase! But while a nation grows its industry on cheap labor, it's very overt. Then people eventually get better treatment and wages --maybe even healthcare, and the real killing begins, though it becomes "ethical" killing...
