As in, you doubt that people get executed in China?
Or
They do, but the numbers are inflated?
I'm just not sure what you're trying to say.
I don’t doubt it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_China
Although most death sentences are “with reprieve,” which seldom lead to execution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_sentence_with_reprieve
All of those are on the public record.
What I’m saying is: where is their evidence for an “estimated thousands of executions carried out” that are secret?
So you're going with wilful ignorance. Neat.
Name a country that executes more people per year than China does.
Actually, since you can't do that, don't worry about it.
Anyhoo, they'll execute him.
A gunshot to the head is more likely.
