BEIJING, Feb 1 (Reuters) - The former chairwoman of the Sanlu Group, jailed for life over China's melamine-tainted milk scandal in which at least six children died, has appealed against her sentence, state media said on Sunday.

Tian Wenhua says her trial lacked evidence, Xinhua news agency quoted her lawyer as saying.

Tian was convicted last year at Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court of manufacturing and selling fake or substandard products. She was sentenced to life last month and fined 24.7 million yuan ($3.6 million).

Two men were sentenced to death and three former Sanlu executives received jail terms of five to 15 years.

My advice to this woman - shut up before you argue yourself into the DP.

1. You know,

I don't like the chinese government, the chinese taking our jobs, the chinese tying their currency artificially to ours, heck I can't think of anything I like about their gov'ment or economics I like EXCEPT

How they deal with corporate crooks!

2. If 'how they deal with corporate crooks' in China works so well...

then why do there continue to be so many corporate crooks there?

Strict regulation, likelihood of detection and the *certainty* of punishment work a lot better than the *savagery* of punishment, whether in deterring corporate crooks or ordinary burglars and muggers.

3. Death if you are guilty. Death of if you think you are not guilty. Yeah great system.

sorry but I still believe in the rule of law.
