Anchor: The Chinese communist regime has officially reported 3 infants death related to melamine-contaminated milk powder. But a November 15th Associated Press Report says there have been more deaths–at least five more–than the Chinese regime acknowledges.
新聞主播：
中國共產政權官方報導三名和三聚氰氨奶粉有關的嬰兒死亡，但是美聯社11月15日報導有更多嬰兒死亡，至少比中共承認的還要多五個。
According to the families, medical records or state media accounts, babies in the five unreported cases died from kidney failure attributed to being fed poison milk formula.

No systems are in place to investigate deaths and illnesses not yet counted by the Chinese regime. And this worries families who won’t be able to file lawsuits or seek compensation without an official verdict.
沒有任何組織研究相關死亡和疾病，中國政府更不用說，讓這些家庭擔心沒有官方判決他們就無法提出訴訟或尋求賠償。
