    Wasn’t a billionaire and executions by the state, especially only 2 weeks after the trial, are not things to be celebrated :comrade-doggo:

        wouldn’t it be better to just throw him in a labor camp for the rest of his days, executions have been proven to not be an effective deterrent for crime.

        China also executes people for drug charges, I hope you wouldn’t agree with that being something good

          IMO leaving these rich & powerful people alive is always dangerous, it's better to just get rid of them. Plus, if the CCP was ever to collapse, at least there won't be a possibility of these people getting freed from jail -- which you know would happen if some pro-western group was to take power in the country.

          But yeah, I don't think random drug dealers should be executed.

            "wouldn’t it be better to just throw him in a labor camp for the rest of his days" No. This guy's execution good, drug dealer's execution bad (unless they're CIA or something)

        after 2008 issuing the death sentence for a couple of corrupt bourgeois fuckers

        America only arrested one or two guys, China is much better, they go after ten or twelve!

          One or two unimportant low-level scapegoats that got a very light punishment. This guy was actually powerful and influential.

      Yeah much better for the state to execute someone before their trial even when they've not been accused of any wrongdoing..... RIIIIIIiiiiiiighhhhtttt?

            Testing the theory to see if one can remove one's own upvote and make it show as a zero

            Edit: Yep that's how. Removed the default upvote.
