How China Watches the Drug Watchers

This AP story makes me curious what the Chinese government will do to the guy who let bad pet food hit the shelves:

China's former top drug regulator was sentenced to death Tuesday in an unusually harsh punishment for taking bribes to approve substandard medicines, including an antibiotic blamed for at least 10 deaths.

The sentence was levied by "Beijing's No. 1 Intermediate People's Court," which really makes you wonder how tough the advanced people's court can be.

Whole story here.
