“Execution” of the head of China’s food and drug agency

Well, this should shut the Americans up. That’s probably what they were thinking. When I first read about this corruption case in China, I thought “execute” meant something different in China, like shipping him off to an island in the middle of nowhere or something. As the article says, I’m sure it wasn’t just this guy’s fault. This shocking strategy probably helps prevent the Americans from prying too deep into their system.

It’s interesting to note that once you open the gate to capitalism, you can’t stop half way; it’s all or nothing. Now, in order for them to stay competitive in the global market, they’ll have to meet the standard of transparency that other nations expect. I wonder how long their communist government could last.
