Playing hardball in China.

[Regnum] The former vice-chairman of the standing committee of the People's Congress of China's Jiangsu Province, who illegally enriched himself to the tune of more than 245 million yuan (about $34.3 million), has been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. This was reported on February 17 by China Central Television.

"The Intermediate People's Court of Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, sentenced Liu Handong to death with a two-year reprieve, lifelong deprivation of political rights, and confiscation of all personal property," the statement said.
"You've got two years to die on your own before we expedite it"
The court found that from 1999 to 2023, the defendant abused his official position by assisting individuals and organizations in acquiring land, running a business, and evading taxes.

It is noted that Liu Handong admitted his guilt and repented, and the money and property he embezzled were recovered in full.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, on December 17, 2024, the death sentence imposed on Li Jianping, Secretary of the Working Committee of the Communist Party of China in the Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone, was carried out in China. He was sentenced to death in 2022. The final decision on the death penalty was made by the Supreme People's Court.

The investigation found that the official had misappropriated more than 1.43 billion yuan (more than $199 million), received 577 million yuan (more than $80 million) in bribes, and misused more than 1.05 billion yuan (more than $146 million). All of the executed man's personal property was confiscated, and he was allowed to meet with his relatives before his death.

Dis he 'embezzle' money? Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't matter.
