No Anthrax Case Found in China: FM Spokesman
Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Sun Yuxi confirmed Tuesday that there has been no anthrax contamination in China so far.
The two "suspicious letters" found in Beijing did not have anthrax in them, Sun said at a regular press conference.
According to Sun, a Chinese employee of a US company in Beijing received a Falun Gong Cult leaflet in an envelope which contained white powder on October 9 and another company in Beijing was sent a letter containing four pills on October 16. These were the only two suspicious letters, Sun said.
The police sent the letters to the quarantine authorities as soon as the cases were reported and those people exposed to the letters were also tested, he added.
