Three more Japanese citizens have been executed in China for trying to smuggle methamphetamine.
This follows the execution of another Japanese drug smuggler on Tuesday. The three latest Japanese nationals to be executed were smuggling the recreational drug from the north-eastern province of Liaoning, according to China's Xinhua news agency.
One of them, Teruo Takeda, bought 5 kg of the recreational drug in 2003. The 67-year-old then arranged for the other two--Hironori Ukai, 48, and Katsuo Mori, 67--to take the consignment to Japan. But they were caught at two separate airports in Liaoning.
The Tokyo government as a whole seems to have played down the issue. Japan also has the death penalty, but not for drug smuggling.
In December, China executed a Briton, also for drug smuggling, prompting a British outcry over what it said was the lack of any mental health assessment.
Under Chinese law, offenses involving more than 50 grams of heroin or methamphetamine carry the death penalty.
Didn't realize my sarcasm would offend some, but there are those always on the defense. sorry, I just don't care what china decides to do with its laws, as long as it dose not effect us. I would say don't smuggle drugs into china.
Well they don't have to worry about jail overcrowding, court ordered probation with mandatory testing, half-way houses, repeat offenders, and all that other "good stuff" that goes with drug abuse.
Justice there is swift. But you have to admit, it works.

If it worked they would not have any smugglers to execute.

There are always those that think they can get away with it.
But China has nowhere near the drug problem the US has.
