When in Rome... I would have enjoyed seeing LiAngelo Ball and other UCLA students go through the Chinese legal system. 3-10 years for shoplifting.

Don’t worry

The Canadian military will flex its muscle and China will give in and release the guy.

Or JT will offer them a discount on maple syrup and get him back

Being that something like 135 countries either don't have the death penalty or haven't executed anyone in 10 years, it is far from a universally agreed penalty.

Or release that Huawei executive Canada arrested at the request of the US, which is, of course what this really is about.

HAHAHA!! Most of the drugs people take now will kill you if done wrong. That doesn't stop them, but the death penalty will?

Whatever.
