Chinese lead poisoning scandal sparks backlash, echoing earlier controversies
A lead poisoning scandal at a kindergarten in northwest China – and the local government's attempt to cover up wrongdoing – has sparked public backlash, and observers say the case highlights a familiar pattern often seen in the wake of high-profile safety incidents Advertisement Liu Qifang, the father of a girl who attended the kindergarten at the centre of the scandal , received a phone call from an unknown caller last week, according to South Reviews magazine on Tuesday. The caller confirmed Liu's identity, then curtly said '5.416' and hung up. The number was a reference to his daughter's results from a blood test in Tianshui in Gansu province, where the kindergarten is located. That test said his daughter's blood lead level was 5.416 micrograms per litre (mcg/L), much lower than the 100mcg/L level deemed elevated in children by Chinese health authorities. Liu decided to have his daughter tested in Xian, capital of neighbouring Shaanxi province, as reassurance. That test result came out to 232mcg/L – 40 times the number he was told in Gansu. Advertisement Other parents shared similar stories with the media. After the scandal was revealed, they received normal test results over the phone from people they believed to be local government workers.

3 arrested after Hong Kong car chase uncovers drugs, weapons
Hong Kong police have arrested three men, aged between 19 and 20, after a car chase in Tsim Sha Tsui, with officers discovering drugs and weapons inside the vehicle. The force said the private car driver had refused to cooperate with traffic enforcement and control division officers when stopped at Hillwood Road, adding that he fled towards Nathan Road and crashed into a taxi at Shun Yee Street while driving in the opposite direction. 'After a verbal warning for people inside the vehicle to alight had failed, officers had drawn their guns on guard before subduing the driver and two suspects inside the car,' police said. The car was apprehended on Kimberley Road after being stopped by a police car. Officers found 41 bags of suspected cocaine, weighing around 18 grams, a small amount of suspected cannabis and two telescopic batons inside the private car. The suspected illegal drugs inside the car were worth HK$21,000 (US$2,675). The 20-year-old driver and the two other passengers, aged 19 and 20, were apprehended for allegedly possessing dangerous drugs and weapons, as well as drug trafficking. The driver was also arrested for 'causing bodily harm by furious driving' and violating the conditions of a learner's driving licence.
