Doesn’t China still execute people by firing squad? I think these people deserve worse, but at least most or all of them will be executed.

The whole 2019 HongKong protests were sparked by an extradition case, by the way.
HongKong wanted to extradite a HongKongese man from Taiwan (murdered his girlfriend).
HK Lawmakers drafted a extradition bill that would allow extradition between HK, China, and Taiwan.
People did not like that.
