Two children died from eating rat poison while attending school at a private kindergarten in Yunnan province, raising further concerns about the management of schools for children a week after four kindergartens were caught administering prescription drugs to students without the consent of parents.
Education experts said more government-funded preschools should be established and stricter measures should be taken to regulate schools for children after a string of health scares over the past week at private kindergartens.
China's education and healthcare authorities have kicked off a campaign to inspect kindergartens, primary schools and high schools nationwide to see whether students have been given illegal medical treatment or unsafe food.
Police in Guangdong province have detained four suspects and launched a hunt for three others who were allegedly involved in attacking a group of unpaid migrant workers, killing one of them, earlier this month.

"Forced recruitment of laborers was a serious crime committed by Japan during World War II and caused great damage to the physical and mental well-being of Chinese victims."
US first lady Michelle Obama will arrive in Beijing on Thursday afternoon to kick off a weeklong, three-city tour of China that analysts said will further advance relations between Beijing and Washington.
The first ladies of China and the US, scheduled for their first-ever meeting this week, have much in common: They are symbols of glamour in their own countries and stand uneclipsed by their more powerful husbands. They are loved by the public not because of their spouses but for who they are. Each woman has created a "power center"-a kind of soft power-from a combination of femininity and self-assertion. And they have channeled it to worthy causes such as helping others. They command the spotlight but never steal the show when the occasion calls for supporting roles. They know that what they do will be put under a microscope, including the clothes they don, and they parlay that kind of influence into exposure for causes with larger meanings. Because they exude strength and charisma at once, they become role models who transcend gender and age.
