[edit] Untitled

I moved this page to conform with the style used by other articles ie Capital punishment in the United States, Capital punishment in the United Kingdom and Capital punishment in Canada. Evil MonkeyHello? 04:03, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

Valuable page! Glenlarson

[edit] Picture?

Without any information, the picture seems to support a POV due to its brutal nature. What is the picture about? What year was this? What was the person guilty of? etc etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.252.33 (talk) 10:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Question marks

What are all those question marks in paranthesis (sp?) doing sprinkled through the article? I think that either they or the sentences they belong to, if they cannot be verified, should be removed. Brutulf 18:50, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

They are Chinese characters for the phrases used in the article. If you only see question marks then it means that your computer does not have the correct character set to display them. Evil MonkeyHello 05:50, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
I see. Do you know where I could get those fonts? Brutulf 11:40, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
FYI- My Windows XP Pro SP2, with Firefox Browser, displays them fine with no special sfw. Commking May 7 2005
Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Languages, make sure you've got the East Asia fonts installed. SchmuckyTheCat 14:02, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV??

This article has a tendency to challenge a NPOV. It needs to be copyedited. MyNameIsNotBob 21:10, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

I think the picture of the dead woman is a little too sensational for an NPOV. It's highly repulsive and appears more than a little sympathetic to opponents of capital punishment.

[edit] Beauty products from the skin of executed Chinese prisoners

See this guardian article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,7369,1568622,00.html bogdan | Talk 21:08, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Thats BS
That's even more BS than the crap Falun Gong talks about with organ harvesting. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Falun Gong is behind this propaganda as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.19.208 (talk) 07:04, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
your ignorant barbarism makes you seem less intelligent to the rest of the world. How can you possibly expect anyone to take the PRC seriously?64.222.124.107 (talk) 17:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
It's obvious that it is a stupid Falun Gong member. Since their skin exudes a stench, no one likes the Beauty products from their skin. hah hah Du Yanning - talk 03:51, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy of Opening Paragraph

This sentence could be misinterpreted: "China is one of the few countries now using capital punishment, and its rate of executions is disproportionately more common than in any other."

I'd suggest that its changed to "... and its number of executions is higher than any other." Iran, Iraq and Sudan all execute more people each year per capita than China, although China has a higher total number of executions because of its larger population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamiembrown (talkcontribs) 21:18, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is the Achilles' heel of the PRC

If the PRC does not abolish capital punishment within the next 25 years, We can never hope to be a respected world power, never mind a superpower. THe West will continue to walk all over us, as we will be thought of as a barbaric laughingstock of the world, a nation that never fully emerged from the middle ages. 64.222.124.107 (talk) 22:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

You're right, nobody will respect China for that reason, just like nobody respect US. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.0.175.217 (talk) 16:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
No matter what some idiot may say, we have always been, and always will be thinking of the West as a barbaric hypocrite of the world.Du Yanning - talk 03:39, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Update

Article makes reference to 68 death penalty crimes but BBC reports the number is now 55. Have not changed as I don't know if the list of crimes being referenced is still correct.

Apparently there's been a change, passed in February and enacted in August 2011, that reduces the number of crimes: http://europe.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2011-10/27/content_13988709.htm But I don't find enough details to make a proper edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.145.133.168 (talk) 20:23, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
