For seven years, Zheng Xiaoyu headed China’s Food and Drug Administration–a time in which that agency was filled with scandal, from tainted toothpaste to poisoned pet food.

I don’t shock easily–but I am deeply shocked. I m outraged. I’m enraged. I’m bloody furious!

​​​​This blog was launched on December 29, 2004, which means it just turned one year old. So allow me to wallow in a bit of reflection, please. I’d delayed blogging for a long time, because I’d thought that to be taken seriously, a blogger needed to post daily. I even tried to organize a group [...]

Sigh. Why is it that so often after there’s a natural disaster, if you dig deeply into the cause of the death toll, you find humans taking unconscionable shortcuts in construction…and other humans in charge of safety oversight looking the other way?

I don’t want to bother you, but I thought you might be interested in this. Earlier this year we came up with the idea of the [...]
