I wonder if this policy could become a trend for other countries to follow (even for CEOs of large mega-corporations)....

Every time my computer has a conflict/crashes I can think of one person I could nominate for that treatment....

I wonder if they included that in Xiaoyu's work contract - "mess up and you die"?

Notice how quickly he was executed? Any longer and he might implicate others...

This is a great reminder that as "open" as it professes to be, China is still a scary lawless regime. There's a well established bribery "system". Once in a while there has to be a sacrificial lamb.

Hmm, in WWII ol' Mussolinni made sure that the trains ran on time, used the same type of "persuasion" too.

Comes at no suprise to me, wish other nations would (re-)adopt capital punishment for certain crimes. Conrad Black was lucky he wasn't tried and convicted in China I guess.
