The New York Times (along with every other major media outlet) reports that China’s former food and drug regulator Zheng Xiaoyu was executed today, after being convicted of accepting bribes to approve untested medicine.

Does China suddenly have a highly efficient judicial system or a highly efficient bad publicity response team? I believe…neither. You’re invited to discuss this in the comments section, 8a readers.
