One thing for Chinese justice, they don't mess around with handing out sentences, imagine living a life with a death sentence hanging over your head, that state can impose at will. We need a few of these judges in the UK court system, crime levels will plummet if you think you'll get 10 years for nicking a few cans of lager from the local Tesco and then spend that time in a supermax on the Falkland Islands?

They literally hanged or mutilated people for stealing food in the past. You got one guess how much that deterred people... also, the US has the death sentence, yet murder still happens.

Seriously, if you don't combat the causes, harder sentences mean jack. They are unproductive.

The thing is, this is a communist dictatorship. This guys could have done nothing wrong, but the state wanted him out of the picture, so they made up these charges. This sort of thing happens all the time over there. Many private individuals who became too powerful, have disappeared. Than again, maybe he is guilty. There is just no way of knowing.

The problem is - it seems that all the CCP elite are horribly corrupt. They just turn a blind eye to the ones that are loyal. But that can change in a blink of an eye if they run afoul of the higher-ups. China blacklists foreign media that reports on local officials whose family members suddenly come in fortune from state corps. And the laundry list of accusations shows that this did not happen overnight. But it might just been too egregious to ignore.
