    Be careful corrupt Chinese politicians. You may not want a precedence of death penalty when it’s your turn.

      The CCP actually executes corrupt politicians quite often. It’s one of the few things I can agree with them on. The issue is, if they can be trusted to grant fair trials. And then you have to ask how much can you trust an authoritarian government on really anything.

        No country should ever enforce the death penalty.

        There’s never been a country with the death penalty that has not made mistakes, and it vests an incredible amount of power in the state to silence political enemies and rivals.

        If you think a country exist where every trial is fair, you are naive.
        I bet trials in USA and China are about equally unfair, and both have death penalty.
        It’s better in EU, but any trial will always have potential problems of errors or bias or even corruption. But at least EU doesn’t have death penalty.
        Even political corruption shouldn’t have death penalty.
