Milk inspectors beaten up

TWO milk inspectors for a major China dairy firm were severely beaten in an attack blamed on suppliers angry at tough new safety checks following a tainted milk scandal, state media said on Friday. The two men were working in the northern city of Tangshan as inspectors for Mengniu, one of China's largest dairy companies, which has implemented strict new safety inspections, the China Youth Daily reported. The attack occurred November 5 after inspector Li Zhongping had confronted an outside dairy supplier over a batch of milk he was selling that appeared not to confirm with new standards, it said.

Let's see.  An inspector, doing his job, tells milk supplier his milk looks "off."  So, supplier beats him up.  Based on this incident, my advice to all my blog readers is...

Buy Chinese!
