This is one Chinese policy that I feel the west could benefit greatly from adopting. Not the death penalty necessarily, but permanently life-changing consequences, surely.
Sure, but can someone guarantee he's not persecuted only for falling out of line of other corrupt businessmen supporting the ruling party, or that someone wanted to take his business? That'd be a positive life-changing consequence for those standing behind such a case.
I mean, isn't that the goal? If you're accruing wealth but spending it to better the country (building infrastructure, blah blah), why does it matter?
It helps that China's also clamping down on corruption from the politician side.
