(BEIJING) -- China's food safety record took another hit, after a worker at a state-run steelmaker in Hebei suffered food poisoning caused by locally produced dumplings, which had been recalled following the outbreak of food poisoning in Japan and resold, sources close to the case said.
The local authorities instructed state-run firms in Hebei to buy gyoza dumplings produced and later recalled by Tianyang Food Plant in order to bail out the firm, now in crisis following the food safety scandal.

Another way to look at China is to see it as an oligarchy, with certain Party members as the oligarchs. They are the de-facto owners of the major companies, and the profits of those companies go into their pockets. The "local authorities" didn't want to lose money.
It seems to be a similar deal in Russia. Who are the "oligarchs", and what were their positions under the old USSR? Who are the Russian Mafia, and what were they doing during the time of the USSR's KGB?
