2007: Zheng Xiaoyu, former Director of the State Food and Drug Administration

One year ago today, China made to clean up its image — with public health advocates, if not with human rights advocates — by executing* its former Food and Drugs minister for economic crimes.

Zheng Xiaoyu, China’s drug regulation capo from 1994 to 2005 and only (“only”?) the fourth minister-level official to be put to death in China since the immediate aftermath of Mao Zedong’s reign, was sentenced for extracting bribes from pharmaceutical companies he nominally regulated in exchange for approving their worthless and/or unsafe products.

One bogus antibiotic he rubber-stamped killed ten in China before it was pulled from the market, but it was dangerous Chinese products exported abroad — including lethal pet food ingredients to the United States and a cough syrup that killed dozens in Panama — that lit a fire under the export-driven colossus. The court that rejected his appeal explicitly referenced Zheng’s danger to China’s international reputation — simultaneously shifting focus from structural weaknesses by individualizing them to Zheng’s personal failings.....

Yeah, I posted this same one three years ago. I rarely repeat these execution stories, knowingly at least.

I was curious how people would respond now that three years have passed and it should be obvious at this point that Covid-19 was rarely Convid-19 and a plandemic with the complicity of people in the FDA, CDC, etc.

I am kind of disappointed by the reaction.

Maybe it is the the headline I had to go with. It’s not very attention grabbing.

If I think of it and have time, maybe I’ll search around to see if there was some more recent article written about this dude somewhere out there.

If they had that policy here- The executions would probably have to go on 24/7 for months, in order to deal with all the corruption in our government. 🙄
