China is wide­ly regard­ed as the world’s lead­ing exe­cu­tion­er with thou­sands esti­mat­ed to be exe­cut­ed annu­al­ly, but infor­ma­tion sur­round­ing exe­cu­tions is con­sid­ered a state secret.

    The raw numbers are in your link and the population is probably on Wikipedia. Getting to the per capita numbers shouldn’t be that hard.

      Yeah. I just added that to my comment. But this might not include other countries.

      I think the biggest tell is how imperial news constantly talks about Iran and NEVER talks about Saudi Arabia.

        If Saudi didn’t provide oil, they’d be just as condemned. It’s sad.

        Both are bad, of course. But it may be emotionally charged, but i think Saudi is much worse. I think western outlets should condemn Iran, and Saudi. But we both know they aren’t condemning Iran out of morality.
