Song Han got Duan Zetao's encouragement, and his courage became stronger, and he said eloquently: "We should look at the essence of the problem through the phenomenon, why do government departments supervise poorly, in addition to the quality of law enforcement personnel, the fundamental reason is still in the supervision mechanism!" ……”。

"At present, the food supervision mechanism in the mainland belongs to the mechanism of "each managing one piece, unified and coordinating", under this regulatory mechanism, it is easy to have multiple management and duplicate management, or shirk responsibility for each other and lead to a regulatory vacuum, under this regulatory system, all kinds of products after many supervision links before production, such as license review, qualification recognition, quality standard identification, etc., and then enter the market circulation link, the food safety problems of the products often have a certain degree of concealment and complexity ......."

"In contrast, Hong Kong's establishment of a separate food safety centre to be responsible for food safety issues has a clearer responsibility subject, and its supervision of the whole process from product production to circulation to consumption links is a good way to avoid the problem of multiple management and duplicate management, and will not cause a regulatory vacuum ...... by shirking responsibilities to each other."

Duan Zetao nodded and said: "Song Han got to the point, I am preparing to submit a report to my superiors, suggesting that the functions related to food safety supervision in health administration, agricultural administration, quality supervision, industrial and commercial administration, food and drug supervision and other relevant government departments should be integrated, and all of them should be assigned to the Food Safety Committee for management ......."

Everyone was taken aback, Duan Zetao's idea was too bold, Shi Tao hurriedly persuaded: "Zetao, you should be cautious with this suggestion, you are tantamount to snatching food from other people's mouths, and you want to offend the anger of the public, this is a taboo in officialdom......."

Duan Zetao smiled slightly: "Since I am the director, I know that I am going to be angry, someone has said that food safety is the conscience of a country, in order to protect this conscience, I must speak up!" Even if I lose my official position for this, I will not hesitate to do it! ……”。

Everyone knows Duan Zetao's character very well, he is going to do what he says, admiring him but also a little worried about him, then Song Han spoke again, "Zetao, I think you don't have to adopt such a radical and direct way, have you thought about it, if you no longer serve as the director of the State Food and Drug Administration in the future, and change the director, these systems and policies you have formulated are likely to be repeated again, so if you want to fundamentally solve the food safety problem, you still have to promote the improvement of the law. Because once these ideas become law, it will not be so easy for others to change them, and you will not have to directly face those opposing voices ......".

Duan Zetao was touched all of a sudden, and thought about it seriously: "Brother Song Han, you are really high-minded!" Can you be a little more specific?! How should it be perfected?! ……”。

Seeing that his suggestion had been taken seriously by Duan Zetao, Song Han excitedly said: "Hong Kong's laws on food safety are very detailed, covering many areas, including the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, the Food Safety Ordinance, and other related regulations, such as the Milk Powder Regulation, the Sweeteners in Food Regulation, and so on. In terms of legal liability, the rules are very strict, which clearly stipulates that it is an offence for any person to sell food unfit for human consumption. Undoubtedly, this strict legal liability regulation can to a large extent curb the emergence of food safety problems......".

"Comparatively speaking, although the mainland law currently has many provisions on legal liability, it is mainly reflected in the administrative punishment level, including fines, orders to suspend production and business, revocation of licenses, etc., compared with Hong Kong's heavy penalty system, this kind of responsibility system, which mainly uses administrative penalties as a means of sanctions, if viewed from the perspective of law and economics, is prone to a situation of false responsibility, which also increases the possibility of injustice of human factors, and may even breed the ...... of corruption in office."

Duan Zetao's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table hard and stood up and said excitedly: "Brother Song Han, a conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years!" I am also aware of this problem, but I don't have a clear concept of how to improve it, and now I have found the direction, and I will do my best to promote the revision of the Food Safety Law! ……”。

Shi Tao couldn't help but pour cold water and said: "Zetao, it's not so easy to revise the law, this is a more pragmatic thing, I suggest that you still focus on specific issues first, so that it is easy to produce results, so that your right to speak will be valued by the high-level, like your action to investigate and deal with gutter oil this time is very good, the influence has come out, the people applaud, and the top ......is also happy."

Duan Zetao pointed his finger at Shi Tao, and said with a smile: "Brother Shi Tao, you are a typical utilitarian, but one thing you are right, if I want to promote the revision of the "Food Safety Law", I must strive for more right to speak, so I am ready to take those food safety issues that are the most angry and harmful, expand my influence as much as possible, and call on the whole society to pay attention to food safety issues!" Bystanders, all of you have come to give me ideas to see which food safety problems are the most popular and harmful......."

The issue discussed by Song Han and Duan Zetao just now was more professional, and Tan Hong and they were a little unable to interject, and at this time, seeing Duan Zetao asking them to come up with ideas, they said excitedly: "If you want to say that the food safety problem with the greatest public anger and the most serious harm is that in addition to gutter oil, it will be 'poisoned milk powder'!" ……”。

"Isn't there a joke circulating in society right now? Say that a man hears that his wife is having an affair and designs revenge. One night, when his wife was asleep, he rubbed concentrated rat poison on his wife's head, and the wife came back very late the next day, and her husband asked what was going on? The wife said angrily, 'Our leader was poisoned and died!', and the husband was shocked and pretended to be casual and asked, 'Do you know who did it?' The wife said that the murderer was very cunning, and even the police couldn't find out the poison through what means, but when the leader swallowed, he said, Oh my God! Is there any safe milk in the world? So now the police are investigating milk production companies ......".

Everyone laughed, Shi Tao pointed at Tan Hong and said with a smile: "Your joke is outdated, we have all heard it, in the past, the favorite advertising slogan of dairy companies was 'a glass of milk strengthens a nation', if you want me to say that this is the biggest joke ......."

Duan Zetao was about to speak, when his mobile phone suddenly rang, the call was from Ma Nanshan, Duan Zetao's face changed as soon as he answered, he was really afraid of something, and the poisoned milk powder incident broke out again in Dongshan Province! Melamine was detected again in milk powder!
