Despite the investigation by the Chinese authorities, the culprit was executed without any clear motive. They should clarify why they targeted Japanese people. Now I can go to China with peace of mind... No way.

Bet they used a death van to carry out his sentence already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_van I'm not making this up.
Fighto!
Excellent news to wake up to. This animal deserves no less than execution.
Rest in Peace to the hero bus attendant.

A bullet in the back of the head is the normal way of execution in China. Some provinces use lethal injection these days.

It was the right court decision.

There was a motive given: the culprit was indebted and wanted to die. Executing him grants his wish, hardly a deterrent for people with similar motives.
A life sentence in a harsh prison is a much better punishment... and better deterrent.

""A Chinese man who injured a Japanese mother and her child and killed a Chinese bus attendant trying to protect them in a knife attack near Shanghai last June has been sentenced to death, according to a Japanese government official.""
And this is how you handle it Folks .

I'm all for the death penalty for these kinds of blatant random murders.
Thanks theFu for that pleasant link to the "death vans" article. I learned something today.

I prefer Japan’s method: “Hang ‘em High”

hapoythere - you sound as though you are against the death penalty. You are in a minority in Japan

Any kind of crime that involves any other country, unless carried out under the CCP's plans and intentions, is treated very harshly.
In this instance, a person who was indebted and no longer wanted to live and chose to kill 2 innocent people as a solution, most likely should be put to death and removed entirely from society.

Chinese scientists admit that the Fukushima water release which was used as propoganda to dial up anti-Japanese sentiment to 11 , and the dude that tried to kstab to death random Japanese kids but ended up murdering some poor bus attendant gets the death penalty all on the same day. This is Chinas version of a charm offensive. Their economy struggling, the T man serious about tarifs, a quick self motivated gear change that they think will go unnoticed.

In Japan they fall through a trap door so in effect "hang low". Some Middle East countries hang by hoisting the condemned up by a crane. Takes a little longer to die so they have some time to contemplate their actions.

This is the way to go. It doesn't matter for what reasons he killed, face the death penalty.

With Japan’s method, there’s no waste of a perfectly good bullet.
