China Acts on Its Promises To Strengthen Safety Controls
BEIJING — China announced Wednesday that its State Council passed a draft regulation to strengthen food safety in the wake of discoveries of toxic chemicals that prompted international bans and recalls on its exports.
China, which has been working to convince the world it is serious about cracking down on dangerous and phony drugs and food, also announced that it had busted criminal networks that made fake bird flu medicine, anti-malaria drugs, Viagra and toothpaste.
