Sucks to suck. This guy should be OK though, based on the CCPs history of fair trials and lenient sentencing.

Uh-huh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incarceration_in_the_United_States

The United States has the largest known prison population in the world, it has 5% of the world's population, and 20% of the world's incarcerated persons. China, with four times more inhabitants, has less persons in prison.

Uh-huh:

https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/international/executions-around-the-world

 As in previous years, execution totals do not include the estimated thousands of executions carried out by the world’s leading executioner, China, where execution data is considered a state secret; ...

Like, a whole lot of secret state executions, pinky swear. 😂

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world -1 points 7 months ago

As in, you doubt that people get executed in China?

Or

They do, but the numbers are inflated?

I'm just not sure what you're trying to say.

I don’t doubt it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China

Although most death sentences are “with reprieve,” which seldom lead to execution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_sentence_with_reprieve

All of those are on the public record.

What I’m saying is: where is their evidence for an “estimated thousands of executions carried out” that are secret?

[-] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world -2 points 7 months ago

So you're going with wilful ignorance. Neat.

Name a country that executes more people per year than China does.

Actually, since you can't do that, don't worry about it.

Anyhoo, they'll execute him.

A gunshot to the head is more likely.
