The execution by lethal injection of the 3 Filipinos convicted of drug trafficking in China on Monday, February 21, is not about the laws in China. It's about where the Philippines is standing with its relationship with China. Period.
Why? Because if we base it on the Chinese law, it's simple - death penalty!
Yes, China said that this is an independent case. Independent from what? Oh come on please.
Independent from the disastrous, awry, bungled, messed-up, or whatever you wanna call it hostage "drama" last year that killed 8 Chinese tourists?Independent from the ever-unresolved Spratly Island dispute?
If the Americans can't budge China in many ways than one, can the Philippines negotiate a commutation of the death penalty? And the case is drug trafficking!
The Chinese government had executed drug traffickers before from Japan, Britain, and Nigeria.
Let me ask you, do you think China will spare the 3 Pinoys from death on Monday?
Yes or no?
