Safe Mode: On
Equality before the law


All suspects and convicted criminals will be treated equally before the law, regardless of their status or country of origin, an official said.

Drug crime is a global threat, which is why China has the ultimate penalty, capital punishment, Liu Yuejin, director of the narcotics control bureau at the Ministry of Public Security, said.

"Chinese laws treat everyone equally. No one can be above the law, no matter which country they come from," he said.

Drug cases in China involving foreigners have risen recently. Cases in Beijing increased from three in 2006 to 36 in 2009, court data showed.

Some foreign criminals were sentenced to death. But there have been problems, in investigations and the extradition of suspects and convicted smugglers, with countries that don't have capital punishment.

Dai Peng, a professor on criminal investigation with the Chinese People's Public Security University, said it is established international practice not to extradite criminals that are sentenced to death.

  • It's admirable that China cares so much about equality before the law. They murder ALL people who have broken a law that should not exist. Barbarism is the "ULTIMATE" priority in China. And respect for individual freedom and human nature is to be scorned. Logical thinking is also out of the question. Simply banning people from entering china is not enough, they must be murdered. All because of the "global threat" to sobriety. The problem of not being sober 100% of the time, i More..

  • Here is the catch "Chinese laws treat everyone equally" - THAT part may be true, but the L.E. officials tend to treat these laws as "guidelines". Both a local and a foreigner may have to bribe to get off the hook, but they generally try to milk foreigners for a larger amount. Never had criminal trouble over there, but getting legal commercial material into the country is amazingly much faster when the skids are greased.

  • Well this is a nice piece of Communist propaganda. Anyone one caught with drugs in China is fucked. I wonder how long till China has its version of Syria/Libya/Egypt/Yemen? Then those corrupt mandarins will be up against the wall, evil worker exploiting arseholes that they are.
    Also live leakers note that this was posted a few hours after footage of a drug dealer saying goodbye to his family before execution was posted on liveleak. I wonder if this H3dgehog is one of the thousands of computer s More..

    • @H3dgehog go fuck yourself communist stooge. What would happen if you were caught with marijuana in Australia? Nothing, maybe a warning. In China? A beating, bribes and maybe a jail sentence. Fuck the Communist Party of China, all the senior officials are a bunch of corrupt, evil, arseholes who have abandoned the principles of Marx for the money and privilege. Your either a pig or a communist H3dgehog, either way your an arsehole.

  • Let me explain something about TOOLS like H3dgehog.
    There is a large group of losers in China that are widely reported to be paid .5 of a Yuan (known in Chinese as Wu Mao) per facist post - he's a "Wumao". In Chinese its quite an insult because it means you've reached the bottom career wise and have no alternative. The same with the "first Chinese woman in space" videos, who really gives a frying fluck when back on earth doctors will happily tear out stitches if a patient can More..

  • Just goes to show you, the war on drugs is a tool to use against the poor. They know they can never stop adults from using, hell, china's killin em and they're increasing. Everyplace theres harm reduction and tolerance drug use drops, especially among the youth. which is what we all want right?

    • @H3dgehog Zero tolerance creates better criminals. It does not get rid of crime.

    • @H3dgehog Doesmt work, people do it anyway. China will kill you and they still do it. If you cared about reducing youth drug use look to the programs that actually had success. The only success the war on drugs and zero tolerance has given us is criminal underground that makes the gangsterism of the 30's pale in compairson and skyrocketing usage rates. IF you want more usage, more criminality, more OD's and communicable diseases go with zero tolerance, ITs never worked, and in every case its More..
