IN the autumn of 2008, tainted milk led to the sickening of 300,000 infants in China, at least six of whom died as a result of kidney damage caused by milk powder laced with the industrial chemical melamine to make the milk appear to be rich in protein.

Two men were executed for their involvement, while others received lesser sentences.

It turned out that Aqsiq, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, a ministerial-level body responsible for quality standards, had exempted the major dairies from inspections as a sign of confidence in their leadership.

New regulations were put in place and Li Changjiang, the head of Aqsiq, was dismissed after the government decided that he was responsible for "negligence in supervision".

A year later, the dairy industry seemed well on the road to recovery. The Xinhua news agency reported in December last year that "after the melamine scandal, it is impossible to sell poor quality milk".

But in January, melamine was back. Xinhua announced that excessive melamine had been found in milk from the Shanghai Panda Dairy. Soon, it turned out that the problem was not an isolated case. Companies from different parts of the country, it seemed, were recycling melamine-contaminated stock recalled in 2008 and kept in storage.

Moreover, it turns out that the authorities knew about the new melamine scandal for almost a year before telling the public.

Health Minister Chen Zhu denounced "unscrupulous food companies" that had "processed and resold the melamine-laced milk powder that was recalled but not destroyed ... which posed great health risks to consumers".

No doubt, he was right to denounce the unscrupulous companies. But the government had obviously failed the public by not seeing to it that food products were safe.

The government should have learned in 2008 that it cannot depend on dairy companies to monitor themselves. It is the government's job to prevent those companies from endangering the public.

The new melamine scandal exposes wholesale colthing serious problems in the mainland not only in terms of quality control and supervision, but in the government's order of priorities.

After the dimensions of the milk powder problem became evident in 2008, the government clamped down on distraught parents who were organising themselves and on lawyers who volunteered their services to represent the sickened children.

Lawyers received threats from the authorities. Li Fangping, a leading human rights lawyer, reported in September 2008 when two dozen lawyers quit a volunteer advice group that "some of them said that they or their offices were told they would face serious repercussions if they stayed involved".

Parents, too, felt the pressure. Zhao Lianhai, whose 3-year-old boy Pengrui developed a stone in his left kidney, tried to unite parents of sickened children by creating a website called Home for Kidney Stone Babies. He was detained last November and formally arrested the following month for trying to "disturb social order".

And officials have banned independent reporting on the latest toxic food scandal. The International Federation of Journalists reported that Guangdong officials have told media outlets to only use official information.

So, in China's topsy-turvy world, victims of crime, such as

Ice coverage continues to expand in Bohai Sea

fake rolex

BEIJING, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- The worst sea ice in east China's Bohai Sea over the past four decades continued to expand and has covered 45 percent of the waters of Bohai, the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center (NMEFC) said on Friday.

The ice coverage was 40 percent a week ago.

According to the analysis by remote sensing, about 9,441 square kilometers of the Bohai Bay had iced up by Friday, accounting for almost 60 percent of the entire area of the bay.

Bohai Sea, due to its proximity to China's capital Beijing, is one of the busiest seaways in the world.

The sea ice appeared early January along the coasts of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea as cold fronts pushed temperatures below minus 10 degrees Celsius, according to the station.

The sea ice has caused more than 1 billion yuan (about 146 million U.S.dollars) of losses to the fishing industry in Shandong Province, local marine
embroidered patches and fishery department said Thursday.

The ice has also affected marine transport, fishing, aquatic breeding and offshore mining in northeast China's Liaoning Province, north China's Hebei Province and Tianjin Municipality.

The NMEFC forecasts that the ice could worsen in the next few days in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

In 2005, Google, the Internet giant, went into China. It made a grave compromise when it did so. Bowing to the demands of the Chinese authorities, Google censored its search engine. It created a special engine just for China. This means that Web users in China who Google "human rights," say, or "Tibet," will get sanitized results, or none at all.

The company justified its decision to cooperate with Beijing by saying Lace front wigs that it was better for Chinese people to have some Google rather than none. In any case, Google is in a much different posture now. Sometime in December, the Chinese government attacked Google's "corporate infrastructure," as the company says. The government's main purpose was to pry into the
embroidered patches e-mail accounts of human-rights activists and their supporters. Google expressed public displeasure with China, something rarely expressed toward that government, by anyone. And the company is threatening to pull out of the country altogether. It is also saying that, after these five years, it is no longer willing to censor its search engine. This is a surprising and welcome development. At Google's offices in Beijing, ordinary Chinese came to present flowers, in appreciation.

Worldwide spending on information technologies will continue to feel the effects of the global recession throughout 2010, according to a new forecast from IDC.

In a release, IDC said that worldwide IT spending will increase by 3 percent in 2010 at constant currency. In the United States, IT spending is forecast to increase by less than 3 percent.

"Despite pent-up demand for upgrades and new applications following the deep spending cuts of the past year, economic uncertainty will combine with capital and credit constraints to inhibit spending in mature economies," said Stephen Minton, vice president of Worldwide IT Markets and Strategies at IDC. "The engine of global industry growth in 2010 will be in emerging markets, in particular China and India, where IT spending will recover much more quickly."

Overall, IDC said it forecasts that worldwide IT spending will reach $1.48 trillion in 2010, still below the $1.5 trillion recorded in 2008. "Following a decline in overall tech spending of 4.5 percent at constant currency in 2009, IT spending will not fully recover from the global recession until sometime in 2011," Minton said.

The release said that IDC's forecast of 3 percent growth in worldwide IT spending is at constant currency, and does not assume future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar or other international currencies over the next 12 months. If the U.S. dollar weakens in 2010, the actual recorded growth of IT spending in US$ may be significantly higher. Measured in U.S. dollars, worldwide IT spending declined by 8 percent in 2009 due to the stronger value of the dollar compared to 2008.

On a global basis, IDC said it expects hardware spending to grow by 5 percent in 2010, while software spending and IT services spending will grow by 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively, in constant currency. In the hardware segment, worldwide PC spending is forecast to increase by 3 percent this year, up from the previous forecast of 2 percent growth, while the forecast for servers, storage, hardcopy peripherals, and network equipment have also been raised. The outlook for software and services spending reflects Lace front wigs the lower value of contracts signed in the past year and continued caution toward new project-based spending in mature economies.

IDC said its clients can learn more about the new forecast by joining a live telebriefing on February 25, at 12 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time. For more information or to register for this telebriefing, clients can go to IDC's website.

J UST what is the Government afraid of?

Justice Minister Simon Power looked like he had been offered P by a badged Labour Party member outside the Beehive when approached by the media to comment about the rolex replica Law Commission's recommendations for handling drug offences.

His Prime Minister and this Government would have nothing to do with making laws relating to drug offenders more flexible, thank you very much.

In fact, it appeared Mr Power and John Key would rather spend a night with Don Brash discussing his far-right 2025 taskforce proposals or even our own Rusty Kane and his ideas to ship our criminals to China than acknowledge even the existence of a report suggesting new ways to handle drug addicts and criminals.

Which is a shame, because the people who put these ideas forward are eminently sensible people. People such as former prime minister and Law Commission boss Sir Geoffrey Palmer and the police.

The idea is a simple enough one: Rather than putting every minor drug user, addict and criminal through the over-burdened justice system, why not take rehabilitation Clip on hair extensions as a first port of call and back it up with warnings and then punitive action if the drug-taking and dealing persists.

But the politicians read rehabilitation as retreat, a softer approach as surrender to the drug lords.

And in doing so they have missed the point, probably intentionally.

The Law Commission and those supporting its recommendations, including the police officers on the front line, are not advocating that we ignore our responsibilities towards banned, illegal substances.

They are saying that years and years of locking up minor drug offenders and issuing fines for personal use have not reduced the drug problem one bit. In fact, it might have worsened it, with offenders not given the opportunity of rehabilitation and drug programmes. Out they come with drug habits intact and options limited by the stigma of jail time.

This is backed up by community groups and agencies that work with addicts and offenders. They claim the lack of programmes and our more punitive stance towards the issue guarantees a one-way trip to trouble and crime.

The Government has been quick to connect the work of the commission with an attempt at softening its tough stance on P, which is unfair and quite possibly politically motivated.

It has been too quick to dismiss the work done by Sir Geoffrey and his staff, which
embroidered patches is disappointing and wrong.

If only the large number of drug-takers and dealers in our jails, our work places, our schools and right through every layer of our society could have their problems and the trouble they create waved away so easily.
