China's govt admits failings in milk scandal

Chinese premier Wen Jiabao said the government is partly responsible for the tainted milk scandal that has been blamed in the deaths of four babies and shaken consumer confidence, in a rare admission for a Chinese leader.

The government feels “great sorrow” over the crisis which has sickened more than 50,000 children, Mr Wen said in an interview published in this week’s 'Science' Magazine.
