I've seen several references to some sort of rift between the users of these instances today. What's happening?

but in the case of China it’s largely for corrupt CEOs and sexual assaulters.

Isn't drug trafficking and murder also punishable by death?

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Yes, those as well. The PRC is strict about drugs and prostitution in general. I wasn't meaning a full, comprehensive list, but to say that the death penalty is popularly supported there and largely applied for the most serious offences.

[-] FunkyStuff@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah for sure, but I think it's a bit misleading to make it sound like only owners of capital (be it corrupt haute bourgeoisie or human trafficking capitalists) get executed. I don't know the numbers but I'd assume since murder and drug trafficking are also punishable by death, that means most of the people executed are workers, not capitalists.

Fair point, yes, though I also included sexual assaulters, who are statistically more likely to be workers.
