These are already not problems at an industrial level but problems that force people to abandon their own principles and abilities of self-reflection when they are driven by goals of chasing "short-term profit" and "the biggest and the strongest".What an industry serves should be people instead of becoming one of the "Fortune 500" or having "the highest market share". What makes us over-competitive like that? Is it a small scale and a lower profit that fail us to live well? safety and trust in products is made by us working together. A punishment can't change people, but instead gives them an alert. When committing such a collective crime, what loss did the committers, participants, and those who turned a blind eye get? Anything else but money---the external belonging that enslaves people? Maybe even it can't be lost. Perhaps we will meet them again in the future and this time, some of them might be carrying a sign saying "I-am-back", then what will we do? Admiring them like before as if their past evil doings are not there? As for those who turned a blind eye to and those who were part of the crime, aren't they still pursuing higher positions, getting more for their families, or living a life more comfortable than others suggested with luxurious cars or expensive clothes? Oh Dear...

We should punish these responsible companies hard! How about Sanlu after being purchased? It'd continue to produce milkpowder. Then, what is the point of punishment if the company is not closed down? It is just a change of name. The whole diary industry should review themselves.
