The mayor of a city whose officials have been accused of failing to deal with reports of tainted baby milk was dismissed Thursday as the government announced that a fourth infant had died and that the police had arrested a dozen more people in a widening investigation. The mayor of Shijiazhuang, Ji Chuntang, was the most senior official to be fired so far in the growing milk scandal. Mr. Ji had been removed Wednesday from his post as deputy secretary of the Shijiazhuang Municipal Committee of the Communist Party, according to Xinhua, the state news agency.

This whole case is utterly despicable. Pirating a DVD movie? Fake LV bags? Fake Rolex watches? These that don't actually do any harm to people that's one thing. Fake drugs and fake milk - this is dispicable and disgusting.
The SOB needs to take a heavy dose of his own medicine and rot in jail.
It's good to see that heads are rolling as opposed to the usual sweap it under the rug corruption routine.

The central government’s department in charge of consumer quality inspection said Wednesday that it was no longer exempting any companies from product testing. Previously, major companies with a long track record of making quality products could get an exemption.

This is good to hear as well.
There's no question that china can produce goods, but they need to maintain that their quality is as good as their ability to produce economically or else no one will be buying from them anymore.
The most promising outlook of this case however is the level of transparency involved.
This as well as the Chinese government's admittance that public buildings were constructed poorly as a result of corruption are all aspects of a truly modernizing nation.
