On the flipside the worse thing any banker/bank executive has to face from American politicians is some shame hearing that's put on for show with some slap on the wrist fine, if that.
Libs just assume whatever problem America has, China must have it ten times worse. If the USA executes people who are literally mentally incapacitated, China must execute ten times as many. A hundred even. No don't show me evidence otherwise, you really believe the numbers coming out of China? etc etc
In the US this guy would be free probably unless he fucked over some other rich guy.
People/media in the USA will point to this as an example of authoritarianism while the USA executes people who are literally mentally incapacitated.
Typically without trial.
after his former boss was executed in 2021
And yet he still did this. Fafo I guess
Lightning never strikes the same place twice let's get that brreeaaaaad- OH FUCK
Man do that shit in the states, here you get a promotion.
And maybe a nice Vice Media/<insert cool-and-hip CIA asset> documentary that details all your crimes in great detail but then says "oh gosh, good thing we had the good American heros to save the day" while all the comments are like "So unfair that they weren't in jail, I don't trust the government or anyone who feels government at all!!!"
More like you get a book deal, a blockbuster movie, and are worshipped as a deity and get paid thousands of dollars per minute to speak at commencements at “prestigious” universities
Redditors will have a conniption over this and start frothing at the mouth demanding summary executions for everyone who doesn’t bow down and kiss the cop’s feet after being pulled over an hour later
And then cry about how America is broken and be like 'look, how do you even fix this?!'
Yup, America has a homelessness problem, so what's the solution? I know, pass laws to prevent them staying somewhere safe during the winter so they die; obviously we wouldn't pass laws to kill them because that would be the kind of thing you'd expect in Vuvuzela, but you can have laws that only just happen to, unintentionally, totally not the intended effect here, kill them indirectly. Can't execute one guy who's part of the problem and destroying the country, oh no, just pass zoning laws that just so happen to kill many, many, many people whose only crime is 'failing' (being exploited and then tossed away more like). We know these people are criminals, and due to having the wealth to do so are experts at hiding their crimes usually, and when they take bribes it has a major adverse effect on the country, but no, let's give them a prison sentence, that'll fix everything.
But of course like babies when you dangle keys in front of them we still have our treats. Never mind that if we're from certain ethnic backgrounds we have to teach our kids to be careful around cops, never mind that medical bills can destroy the life of even a moderately successful family, never mind that....oh never mind everything, here's the Harry Potter remake, look, Volvomart looks like Trump!
Following People's Daily on Twitter is a trip because it's cute videos of pandas interspersed with news like this.
Synthesis: baby pandas handing out death penalties to corrupt bankers.
Those tacky ass carvings on top of grey steel cabinets; money can't buy taste fr.
China has two types of death sentence (that I know of). It doesn’t say if it’s with reprieve or not. China has a version of death penalty with a 2 year reprieve where the convicted has to meet minimum behavior standards (basically don’t commit crimes) and it’s automatically turned into a life sentence instead of a death sentence.
If there's a reprieve it would be explicitly stated, none in this case.
