Default China death sentence

https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/china...ntl/index.html

CNN)When China handed down a death sentence to a Canadian citizen this week, it sent shockwaves around the world.

China rarely executes Westerners. The last high-profile case was in 2009, when British national Akmal Shaikh was executed for carrying 4 kilograms (8.8 pounds) of heroin at Urumqi Airport.
Like the sentencing of Robert Lloyd Schellenberg this week, Shaikh's death sentence prompted outrage in the West and appeals for leniency from his government.

Might help our border problem.

I've got a friend that is married to a Chinese woman. Apparently in grade school, they take the children to the prisons and show them prisoners that are about to be executed. Literally, minutes before their execution...Sounds like a pretty good crime deterrent to me.

I don’t see the problem. I wish the United States would remember that we have death penalties too. I like China’s model. They impose the death penalty and it happens quick.

As far as I am concerned if you go to another country break their laws you have to pay the consequences. If he dealt in drugs and the penalty is death than so be it.

Where is Rotor when you really need him? He effectively dealt with our own 'Canadian problem.'
