Milk Scandal Official to Combat Porn

China's former chief quality supervisor, Li Changjiang, has recently been put back into the spotlight as the head of a nationwide anti-pornography effort.

Li served as minister of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) and came to the public's attention for his handling of the Sanlu milk scandal, which later led to his resignation in September, 2008. Almost one year later, Li, 66, has now been appointed to another high-profile position as the deputy director of the National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications in December, 2009.

Since the beginning of his career, Li worked in various fields, serving as a history scholar, university vice-president, deputy director for China's customs agency and head of the State Administration for Entry and Exit Inspection and Quarantine, before he was promoted to national quarantine head in 2001.
