SFDA Admits Food, Drug Problems

Yan Jiangying, spokeswoman of the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA), says at a regular press conference on Wednesday (Aug. 8) that the SFDA would hold regular press conferences every two weeks to brief the media on China's food security situation. Yan admitted China''s food and drug situation was unsatisfactory and vowed to improve it.
Some time in the next two weeks a government official will lash out at the media for promoting the idea that Chinese food products are inferior. To date, this has been the pattern. An official publically admits there is a problem, and then three chastize the media and the international community for perpetuating rumors of unsafe products.
