Way to go China!
And now for the US politicians. Doesn’t need to be that much. Anything over $1m seems fair.
I’d even be happy with the prosecutions starting at over $1b

Great idea, let’s have a bidding war of how little we as the American people are willing to take. Let’s bargain down to just one corrupt awful piece of shit instead of hundreds of them. That sounds smart.
This is how the country ends up at “just shit in our mouths, is ok we deserve it.”
Don’t praise this shit. No government should be putting people to death, there is far too much potential for abuse and literal libraries full examples of mistakes being made.
The people put to death in Chinese cases are quite often middle-men, bag holders. While the politically-protected people who made the real decisions pay a fine, get jail time, or if they have enough political pull… just go free.
Even in the most high profile case like the Chinese milk scandal (where the CCP believed they had to take extreme actions to clamp down on tainting food and damaging the country’s image) one of the worst offenders, Sanlu Group - got off lightly. The local party honcho CEO whom was well aware of the tainting and sanctioned it got a fine and jail, as did several other executives of the board - but a couple of middle managers at the milk plant who iirc directed staff to mix in the melamine got death sentences, even though they were just doing what their bosses asked. Justice? BS. Just more political puppetry and an isolated elite.
I wish we’d give corrupt officials and CEOs jail here.
yea… thanks for the facts… even without them I wouldn’t be on board with death penalty. It’s not like a handful more people are gonna be too big a strain on any prison system
In known recent corruption cases, the death sentence has been applied when sums exceeding 1 billion yuan ($147.24 million) were involved. In 2024, Li Jianping, an official in the Inner Mongolia region, was executed after being found guilty in a case involving more than 3 billion yuan.

America, any billionaires around?
But if we do this then they’ll take their money and go to other countries and won’t be incentivized to create jobs!
Rookie numbers
The U.S. needs to learn from this. The Trump family should be the first up against the wall.
