A young university student (Han, 23, Female, Guangdong) I know swears up & down that Capital Punishment has now been rescinded in the PRC.
Did I miss something? Wouldn't this have been huge international news?
No, it has not been rescinded.
I just asked one of my Police friends. "So what?" you say?
He happens to be an executioner.
Said it is alive and well (though not in those words).
Wow, like a young 23 year old would really know what's going on. I doubt she knows and is trying to stir something up. I would keep my eye on her if I were you. Swearing is not a good thing!
A few months ago, a few crimes that previously held the death penalty were taken off those books. Oddly enough, they were mostly white collar crimes (ie, bribery etc) - some of the ones that, IMPO, think should have remained on the books.
The Hong Kong executioner, married seven times, what a great life.
