China should have killed Puyi, he didn’t deserve to live. Like I get the Russians killed the Romanovs out of necessity but looking back on it now regicide really was the best decision. And you know, I’m not saying this because I want ALL monarchies to die, like the Hawaiian monarchy gets critical support from me. Like I’m judging Puyi on an individual case, I don’t think he should have died because he was a monarch, I think he should have died because he was directly responsible for collaborating with the Japanese government killing millions of Chinese.

    There was none. Families of victims generally don't find closure after an execution, but people who go through restorative processes do. Retribution isn't justice, it's just a second murder.
