A 39-year-old Chinese man was sentenced Jan. 20 to life in prison for lacing frozen gyoza with poison, causing 14 people in Japan and China to fall ill in 2008 and triggering concerns over the safety of food imported from the fast-growing country.

"There is no room for leniency," the Shijiazhuang Intermediate People's Court in Heibei province said in handing down the ruling against Lu Yueting, a former temporary worker at the plant where the food was made, describing his crime as "despicable" and "premeditated." (Kyodo)
