Standard procedure in the PRC is to pull the condemned out of his cell, no warning, trot him out to the jail yard and pop a rifle bullet thru the back of the head, no ceremony, no last words. The government then sends a bill for the expended round to the next-of-kin.

I can't help but think that if we did that to our corrupt government officials, we would either have a more honest government, or smarter thieves.

I think everyone is a little confused. This man’s arrest is unrelated to the pet food/melamine scandals. He was found guilty of accepting bribes from pharmaceutical companies to fast-track approval of drugs without the normal testing procedures.

Such things are certainly unheard of at the FDA *wink wink nudge nudge*
