Certainly - they only got Hong Kong back in 1997 and sections of the Chinese political elite are still smarting.

The Chinese use their history (specifically the opium wars) to frequently remind Britain that it is not in a position to dictate to them on the morality of their stance on drugs.

For those who think 150 years or so is enough to induce mass amnesia for the social devastation the Chinese suffered as a result of enforced drug importation they would do well to read the latter part of this link.

Either way. He's dead. Who cares. I don't. Why should I? He ins't British. So I really dont care. I dont care, that China didn't give him a medical assessment. I really don't. They must of had their reasons, which we will no doubt never find out

You've said your bit webcrawler and there really is no need for you to reiterate and keep repeating the selective "he isn't (which should of course be "wasn't") British" mantra. We all know where you're coming from thanks.

Yes, its getting hot in here, & for once its not me turning the heat up. lets agree to disagree on this one. Whatever China does or doesn't do, like it or not, China is a much bigger world player than Britain. Their law, right or wrong. They do have one advantage with their death penalty though.

They don't get any re-offenders.:)

They should drop a nuke on china for killing that poor bloke. Personally I won't be buying anything made in china again and I think everyone else should do the same.
