Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
"The amount of heroin he brought into China was 4,030g, enough to cause 26,800 deaths, threatening numerous families," it said.
says it all imo

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
We are talking about a country that until recently still left baby girls to die and has been known to harvest organs from executed criminals,to shoot protesting citizens and encouraged forced abortions...
I suspect that they think they have come a long way in the last 70 years as regards human rights and they are right..It's just that they haven't gone far or fast enough for the rest of the world.

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
I think in normal circumstances I would have said something else, but as the guy had mental health problems which the Chinese ignored/dismissed they are out if order.
Mind you the chinese execute more people per year than the rest of the planet put together.

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
I can think of a country not a million miles from here which is currently in the process of extraditing a man who has been shown to be medically ill, to a country that is claiming highly overinflated damages for the crimes he allegedly committed, and which will most likely throw him in jail to rot for a large part of his remaining adult life.
China have followed their own legal process and, whether we like it or not, they have found this man guilty of a crime, sentanced him according to that process, and then carried out the sentance.

I think the Daily Express should seek to employ journalists, sub editors and editors with a fundamental grasp of the english language who know the difference between "heroin" and "heroine".

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
He broke the law in china. He was tried in china. His punishment was issued by the Chinese. Fair play. He shouldn't have been trafficking drugs. It's one less scummy drug pusher off everyones streets as far as I'm concerned. Good ridence.

Except for the fact they ignored the mental health problems.
Plus the fact the chinese execute for very minor crimes

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
perhaps his family and supporters should have kept a better eye on him if he was that ill , and was there any evidence of his alleged illness submitted to the courts ?

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
Crimes punishable by death in china
Unlike some other countries practicing capital punishment, in China, financial crimes such as counterfeiting, fraud, tax fraud, corruption, property crimes such as theft, and smuggling cultural relics, gold, silver or other precious metals can be punishable by death. These are some of the 68 crimes that are eligible for the death penalty in China.

Yep, they did - and so do other countries.
Agreed, but they don't keep those crimes a secret nor do they keep secret the fact that they will execute for them.
China has a specific set of laws, and a specific set of punishments, and whether we consider them right or wrong all they've done here is follow them.

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
Bipolar disorder does not stop you knowing that carrying huge amounts of class A about is wrong. It didn't stop him having 3 children. It didn't stop him knowing how to get from the uk to china on a plane. It's a convenient catalyst for bringing rise to an excuse in order for the propaganda machine to make us look through furrowed brows at a country that is currently percieved as a rising threat due to the fact they refuse to run their country the way the west tells them, including how and who to trade with.
The guy broke the law big time and got caught. Tough poo poos.

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
I have mixed views, most in favor of China. I can't say what I think on a family forum as it wouldn't go down well.

Re: Anger After British Man Executed In China
