If you break laws in foreign countries, don't cry to momma when you get busted and have to pay the piper.
I remember the first time I flew into Singapore. The flight attendants handed out little customs cards with the rules. Rule 1 was "MINIMUM PENALTY FOR IMPORTING DRUGS IS DEATH!"
Hate to see what they'd do if they were really pissed about it.

5 Advantages of Communist Government

1) The policies don’t change every 4 years after an election. It is easier to steer a nation if the direction of the wind does not change … ever. Just don’t build your sewage lagoon upwind…

2) The citizens do not have to spend their lives arguing with each other, listening to rhetoric from all sides and deciding who to vote for. Imagine the free time we would have if we were not on here bitching about politics with each other.

3) You want to execute a drug dealer or a child molester or cop killer, you just do it. No polling, no referendum, no bullshit. One gun, one bullet. The natives in Caledonia would not last long there – think Tiananmen square in Canada and all that is left is feathers.

4) Forced homogenis-ism – If you want to speak another language, practice another religion or be homosexual…you better fuckin do it on your own time and space.

5) Buying Local – Don’t think your going to be able to shop for cheap foreign goods at the local Wal-Mart (or Princess Auto). Your going to support the economy by buying local weather you frickin like it or not.

Showing your true colours, eh?

Actually, Wal-Mart is in China (as are many other foreign stores like Ikea, Carrefour, etc) and they are all relatively popular, despite having higher prices on some goods than domestic stores.

One advantage some of my Chinese friends think China has over Western democracies is that it can do what it feels is best for all of China, not just the people living in a certain area (the Three gorges dam and scores of infrastructure projects are good examples). However, I like having the ability to have at least a small chance to prevent a nuclear plant from being built next door to my new house.

When I told them it would take several years to build a new train line here in Edmonton, they just laughed and said, in China, they can build several train lines a year, because they don't have to worry about getting voted out next year.

[ShepherdsDog]

That's part of any autocratic society, not just China. It has less to do with communism and more to do with I'm going to do it because I can do it, and you'll thank me for it later.......or else.

[ridenrain]

But Boot.. What happened to the questions of Mr. Shaikh' compitance an his ability to stand trial?

Please keep in mind folks like Canadian Ronald Smith who mudered 2 people in Montana and was executed because of it. I believe you were one of those saying that Harper failed to protect Canadians in that case.

If China has the right to kill possibly insane or manipilated drug dealers, dosen't the US have the right to kill convicted Canadian multiple murderers?

[Thanos]

Another drug-dealer gone, and a stupid one at that. No great loss for the human race whatsoever. And we should remind ourselves that it was the same Gordon Brown Labour government in Britain doing the protesting that also let the Lockerbie mass-murderer go home free to Libya on the dopiest of humanitarian pretexts. As such it's no surprise to see that they're going out of their way to embarass themsleves even more going to bat for a piece of drug dealing filth that did far more harm in his life than any good he might have done. Good riddance to the dope peddler and, soon hopefully, good riddance as well to Gordon Brown and his slow-motion abortion of a government.

I also keep wondering why some people have such a hard time with the concept of "don't piss off the Chinese". It's really not that difficult a thing to understand.
