Capital punishment in China
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the People's Republic of China. It is mostly enforced for murder and drug trafficking, and executions are carried out by lethal injection or gun shot. The use of capital punishment is active in most East Asian countries and territories, including Japan, North Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan (ROC). Amnesty International claims that China executes more people than all other countries combined. The exact numbers of executions, and death sentences, are considered a state secret by China, and are not publicly available.
