I copy and pate by the way :P
I think it's a conversation.
MARK COLVIN: The poisoned milk scandal in China is becoming much bigger than anyone first imagined.
The health ministry has revealed that 13,000 children have had to go to hospital after drinking the milk.
Overall, up to 53,000 children have become ill. Four have died.
The World Health Organization says the Chinese authorities have been acting appropriately, but the crisis is spreading beyond mainland China.
Lisa Millar reports.
LISA MILLAR: It's less than two weeks since the scandal first broke, when the company San Lu started recalling its baby formula.
Twenty-one other companies have now admitted they too were adding the industrial chemical melamine to their products to make them appear more protein rich than they actually were.
And now the Chinese Health Ministry has admitted 13,000 children have been hospitalised, more than double the number initially thought.
Most of the children are under two, their tiny bodies not able to cope with the chemical, producing painful kidney stones, that could eventually lead to kidney failure.
The Premier Wen Jiabao spent the weekend visiting hospitals, holding the hands of sick children, telling them not to cry, and comforting distraught parents
For state television he wanted to be seen taking a hard-line with the dairy companies.
WEN JIABAO (translated): Manufacturers and owners of dairy companies should show more morality and social responsibility in this case, they are heartless. So we have to create strict laws and legislation. I'm sorry.
LISA MILLAR: Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore have now banned Chinese milk imports, while Japan has recalled thousands of products made with Chinese milk.
And today authorities in Singapore said they'd found melamine in a third milk product imported from China, White Rabbit Creamy Candy - the culprit.
Wen Jiabao's appearance on state television was a high profile attempt to show that China is on top of the crisis.
WEN JIABAO (translated): What we need to do now is to ensure that nothing like this happens in the future, not only in dairy products but in all food.
LISA MILLAR: But the World Health Organisation says that's a promise no country can keep.
Dr Hans Troedsson is its China representative.
HANS TROEDSSON: It's of course worrisome that we see that it seems to be at a much larger scale than it was first expected. However, what is good is that the investigations that we see that there are thorough investigations that's really revealing what, to what extent this has been done. But of course it's of a concern. It's a concern of the Chinese population, but also of course, if they have been milk products exported that have been contaminated.
LISA MILLAR: But now we have the case of 22 companies have been exposed. 53,000 children are sick, Clearly, these sorts of numbers, it seems to be an established tactic for the companies to be making their products appear higher in protein?
HANS TROEDSSON: Yeah. This is why it's very important that this investigation reveals to what extent these has happened, both in the past and on what milk products that have been affected.
LISA MILLAR: We've seen in China over the past 12 months issues with melamine in dog food that was exported, we've heard about the lead in toothpaste. Is this another sign that the level that China puts, or the bar that China puts on its production of food, is just not high enough.
HANS TROEDSSON: No, I don't think that's fair to say because what we have to understand is that food safety is always a work in progress, and during the last year, the Chinese Government has been very committed at a very senior political level, to try to readdress the situation to improve and strengthening the food safety here in China.
For example, there is a food law now under review by the People's Congress, that will clearly regulate some of these issues. But it hasn't come into force yet. So it is something that the Chinese Government is taking seriously, but it is also something that takes time.
MARK COLVIN: The World Health Organisation's Hans Troedsson speaking to Lisa Millar from Beijing.
