I hope that Sanlu will never recover either, and I agree that it likely won't. Also, from what I know, Sanlu was actually considered by many to be sort of a poor person's brand already b/c of its lower cost compared to other brands of milk. (which is why many of the wealthier people were insulated from this problem) So I am not sure if they really had that much to recover from as well. Tom Dan:

I agree with you that China needs to open up the litigation process enough so that it no longer makes economic sense for Chinese companies to be nearly completely oblivious to safety. Having said this though, I will bet Sanlu never recovers, so to that extent it is paying a huge economic price anyway. Nice post Tom.
