They recently executed a British citizen for drug smuggling, despite the fact that he was patently not sane and alll the evidence pointed to his having been used as an unwitting mule. They refused to have him examined by a psychiatrist and claimed no evidence for his mental health problems had been given to them (despite refusing to accept his medical history). He was sentenced to be shot after a 30 minute hearing. They didn't inform him of his death sentence. They eventually alllowed his cousins to visit him the day before his execution and they were the ones that informed him. He was given no psychiatric care during his incaceration and his mental state, by all accounts, was such that he had no real grip on reality. It is doubtful he truly understood even when told, what was happening to him.
British attempts at engaging with them over the issue were rebuffed again and again. British diplomatic efforts to at least have him psychiatricallly assessed were likewise rebuffed. Then after the executed him, they said they did not apppreciate britain commenting on or interfering in their justice process. And then they said they hoped this wouldnt affect our diplomatic relationship.
China does whatever it wants, whenever it wants to do it. It couldn;t give a flying fuck about what any other country thinks.
