China government being the top country in carrying death penalty will use lethal injection in replace of mere shooting execution.

China currently executes inmates by shooting at the back. Minor crimes to other countries like tax evasion, stealing, rape, robbery, and drug felony cause death penalty in Chinese government.

Supreme Court vice president Jiang Xingchang told the China Press that lethal injection will be implemented by the 404 Intermediate People’s Courts for its execution process upon securing professional training and complete facilities. This move as Xingchang noted is more acceptable and humanitarian to Chinese people.
