A Chinese court has sentenced a second Canadian citizen to death on charges of producing illegal drugs.

A court notice in the province of Guangdong said Ye Jianhui was sentenced on Friday, a day after another court sentenced Xu Weihong.

They are the third and fourth Canadians to be sentenced to death in China recently.

Relations between the countries have been tense since the arrest of a Huawei executive in Vancouver in late 2018.

Meng Wanzhou's detention following a request from the United States angered China and soured relations with both Canada and the US.

How many countries still have the death penalty?
No details of the cases were disclosed. But local media say police found over 218 kilograms (481 pounds) of white crystals containing MDMA, also known as ecstasy, in a room used by Ye and five other men, all Chinese nationals.

One of the other five men was sentenced to death, while the rest were given jail sentences ranging from seven years to life in prison.

On Thursday, Xu Weihong was found guilty and sentenced to death by another court in Guangdong province, for producing the powerful tranquiliser ketamine.

China's foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said there was no connection between his case and the current state of China-Canada relations.

"I would like to stress that China's judicial authorities handle the relevant case independently in strict accordance with Chinese law and legal procedures," said Mr Wang. "Death sentences for drug-related crimes that are extremely dangerous will help deter and prevent such crimes."

Last year two other Canadian nationals were sentenced to death over drug charges. Robert Lloyd Schellenberg was found guilty of drug smuggling after a sudden retrial. Months later another man, Fan Wei, was given the death penalty for trafficking methamphetamine.

In December 2018, China began detaining two Canadians, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, accusing them of spying. They were formally arrested earlier this year.

Righteousness89:
Sentence to Death is one of the Privileged Deaths on Earth if you are Wise!

Pardon my ignorance, I'm really curious as to how being sentenced to death for drug dealing is a privilege
Will the 'executioner' and/or the 'judge' bear the burden of his sins?

Righteousness89:


Being Sentenced for any Reason is a Privileged way to die if you are Wise..

So many People Die without notice..
So many Die without Preparation..
So many Depart Abruptly..

A man Sentence to death, has a Privilege to Make Peace with God before being killed. He/She has a rare Privilege to Repent, ask for Mercy and Surrender to Jesus. So many do not have this Privilege before they are taken..

What!

I love you❕

. Correct

China doesn't frigging care!

They hv laws & they ensure those laws are absolutely & promptly implemented, regardless of who is on d hook!

It was mid last mnth dt two Chinese high profile politicians were executed on conviction 4 bribery & corruption!

Our pple say:

When crocodiles eat their own eggs, what wil they not do 2 d flesh of a frog?

So, it's not abt being Canadians, China does execute their own citizens too following convictions!

D thing is dt, all those being sentenced or executed wldn't say they're unaware of those laws, or dt they've not seen convicted pple being executed previously!

Thus, if they're aware of d law & they stil don't back out frm illegal dealings, then it means they're absolutely prepared 4 d lethal end of d penalty!
