Tainted Milk, Medicine Draw Chinese Attention

Voice of America reports that Premier Wen Jiabao has said the government bears partial responsibility for the contaminated milk crisis:

In an interview in the U.S. publication Science Magazine, Mr. Wen said the government was responsible for monitoring the industry at the core of the crisis.

He told the magazine the production of milk, and manufactured goods all need to have clear standards and testing requirements.

Meanwhile, the Chinese maker of an injectable ginseng-based medication which killed three people has voluntarily widened its recall.
