WONG:
And in Taipei, Taiwan, concerns are still high over tainted milk from mainland China. So to address public concerns, a special forum was held to educate the public. NTD's Ben Hedges takes us there.

STORY:
Scholars and experts gather to discuss how to deal with contaminated products coming from mainland China. Among them is former vice minister of the Taiwanese government's public health department, Zheng Shouxia, who recently resigned over the issue.

He stated at the meeting that Taiwan's government doesn't have the ability to deal with this crisis due to the fact that mainland China's communist regime has not provided Taiwan's government with information from tests carried out on children affected by the poisoned milk on the mainland.

Zhang Changquan, head of the National Taiwan University international public health research center, also supported this stance.

[Zhang Changquan, National Taiwan University]:
"The information is still not enough, not just for Taiwan is it not enough, the whole world wants to know, we want mainland china's government to allow the rest of the world to have access to the information they have.”

The Taiwanese government has applied the extremely strict standard of 0.05 parts per million to limit the amount of the melamine and the other chemicals that have been found in milk and food products from China.
