I'm sure all of the socialist countries will say it was "fair justice" and they had due process. I wonder how many were executed on trumped up charges or because they had a political opinion and were courageous enough to share it?
They have a tendency of executing people for white collar crimes. In the US executions are never for the political classes or the rich, they look after their own.
I remember one case in China where a woman basically scammed people out of millions of dollars, so they executed her.
it's mostly because we only execute people for murder, and usually only really really bad ones, premeditated, when done in the commission of another crime, multiple (either spree or serial) or for killing cops.
It has less to do with economic or political might and more to do with poor people just tend to murder more than rich ones. Correlation if not causation.
A majority of people who are executed in China are those who voice political opinions against CCP. If the executed person was healthy, his/her organs are harvested for the benefit of Chinese oligarchs.
Do you have any evidence of this? The problem is that they do arrest such people, but records of who is getting executed isn't there.
Yes, they use organs, they "harvest" them so other people can get them. What's wrong with that? People are being executed, why not use their organs for other people?
Falon gong members whose only crime is spirituality get executed specifically for their organs. This is by far one of the most inhumane acts committed by any government in the world.

The report says detained Falun Gong practitioners were forced to have blood tests and medical exams. Those test results were placed in a database of living organ sources so quick organ matches could be made, the authors claim.
