China's cabinet, the State Council, has ordered a "thorough investigation" into the country's sacked drug-administration agency chief, AP reported. Zheng Xiaoyu was dismissed as head of the State Food and Drug Administration in June 2005 when he was suspected of taking bribes. State media cited comments from a council meeting led by Premier Wen Jiabao, reporting that Zheng "took advantage of his position to make a profit for himself" and that he allowed his relatives to conduct "illegal activities". The South China Morning Post noted that the report coincided with a drug administration probe into hepatitis-tainted intravenous blood-products that were on the market.
