China may drop death penalty for economic crimes

None

China, which executes more people each year than any other country, said Monday it is considering dropping capital punishment for economic crimes.

 

A draft amendment to the country's criminal code proposes cutting 13 "economy-related, non-violent offenses" from the list of 68 crimes punishable by the death penalty, the official Xinhua New Agency said. (AP)
