Scandal-linked top official executed

China on July 10 executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog who became a symbol of the country's product safety crisis after he was convicted of taking bribes to approve flawed medicine blamed for several deaths.

The execution of former State Food and Drug Administration chief Zheng Xiaoyu was confirmed by state television and Xinhua news agency.

Zheng was sentenced to death in May for taking bribes to approve an antibiotic blamed for at least 10 deaths and other substandard medicines.
