The actual execution is really a slap in the face of the international community, it clearly demonstrates the authorities' disregard for the rule of law and their human rights obligations.
This demonstrates that the international community has really not been raising these issues at a sufficient level to impress on the Chinese government that this is an important concern for the international community. What is truly appalling is that they chose not to apply Chinese domestic law which could have mitigated the verdict in light of his mental illness.

Personally, I'm glad that China killed the bastard. Its good to know that there are still countries with backbone out there.
Russia is starting to pull its head out of its ass also, I gave them props for invading Georgia.
The western world is full of feminine pussies who need to be kicked around a bit until they wake up.
Where is the Europe which used to go around the world fucking shit up? Europe needs to stop sleeping and find their backbone as well.

sounds like the kind of person who would vote for the BNP.
The guy tried to fly with 10 pounds of smack in a country that everyone knows loves executions.
A "slap in the face of the international community"? Anyone who believes that their nationality should protect them from breaking laws in other countries, including fucking "diplomats", is spitting in the face of their hosts, integrity, respect, personal responsibility, and the international community.
Capital punishment is still premeditated murder, but you can't walk into a train and expect to live.

aren't we the hypocrite: I assumed nothing, I simply said you sounded like the kind of person who would vote for them. If you can't see the difference, please hang yourself.
"you can't walk into a train and expect to live. "
yes, but you don't expect the verdict to be suicide if the person who did it had a history of erratic behaviour, without carrying out any kind of psychiatric review

Erratic behavior? He worked. He traveled internationally. Do you expect anyone to believe that he was so mentally compromised that he was unaware of the potential consequences of his actions? And what would a psychiatric review have shown? That he was what they're currently calling "bi-polar"? Not good enough. Apparently his family, friends, and his country thought he was stable, and responsible enough to travel abroad.
I'm afraid the Chinese have a more practical view of mental illness. In the west it's become a culture of excuses; a long list of justifications for bad behavior that goes unpunished, sapping the life out of all of us. China is like we once were. If you are crazy, your family takes care of you, you find a way to function effectively, or you are put somewhere you can't do any serious harm.
Sounds like the kind of person who would work together with a network of people to pit the gentile against each other, gather all the valuable assets before then enslaving and killing a large amount of the worlds population in the name of cleansing for YHWH.
Just sounds like you know... not saying anything like, literal lol.
When an Islamist is convicted of murder for an honour killing oin America is that against his human rights? It's a different culture and you should not apply your foreign morals to their affairs.

Times of opium wars has ended long time ago. If he really committed a crime for which he was expected to be executed then what is wrong. Of course there is humanitarian question of right of governments to execute anyone, and that I just don't know.
