Thanks, Noodle.
I can see why Japan has downplayed the issue, since drug smuggling is not one of their offenses that carries a death sentence and mainland China has a well founded reuptation for excessive use of execution and torture.
While this was a rather small amount of meth that was being transported, there was at least a traceable operation involving more than a single supplier and user. And like the rest of the world China is having a serious problem with meth labs. It is rumored that it may be even more of problem there than in the west, and if so anyone (especially a foreign national) is going to be made an extreme example of.

I don't know about you, but I think people have no right to kill others despite their crimes.

So you think it is acceptable for someone to manufacture and supply meth which kills on a massive scale, rather than kill those who cause the deaths?
