Official faces death penalty

(01:24) Report

May 29 - The former chief of China's food and drug watchdog agency is sentenced to death on charges of taking bribes and dereliction of duty

The last time China sentenced an official of Zheng's rank to death was in 2000, when Hu Changqing, a vice governor of the eastern Jiangxi province, and Cheng Kejie, a vice head of the National People's Congress, were executed for taking bribes.
