Chinese milk inspectors beaten over tough checks

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.

Li and another inspector, Zhang Liwei, were set on by a group of about five club-wielding men as they left work later that day.

Neither victim could identify the milk supplier nor the attackers as both inspectors had only recently been rotated to Tangshan.
