    Sucks to suck. This guy should be OK though, based on the CCPs history of fair trials and lenient sentencing.

      Uh-huh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States

      The United States has the largest known prison population in the world, it has 5% of the world’s population, and 20% of the world’s incarcerated persons. China, with four times more inhabitants, has less persons in prison.

        Uh-huh:

        https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/international/executions-around-the-world

        As in previous years, execution totals do not include the estimated thousands of executions carried out by the world’s leading executioner, China, where execution data is considered a state secret; …

            As in, you doubt that people get executed in China?

            Or

            They do, but the numbers are inflated?

            I’m just not sure what you’re trying to say.

              I don’t doubt it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China

              Although most death sentences are “with reprieve,” which seldom lead to execution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_sentence_with_reprieve

              All of those are on the public record.

              What I’m saying is: where is their evidence for an “estimated thousands of executions carried out” that are secret?

                So you’re going with wilful ignorance. Neat.

                Name a country that executes more people per year than China does.

                Actually, since you can’t do that, don’t worry about it.

                Anyhoo, they’ll execute him.

                    A gunshot to the head is more likely.
