You referred to UK as irrelevant, and said of course china wouldn't listen to an irrelevant country. I presumed that you therefore meant that they would listen to a relevant country. I thought that might mean someone like usa.
If UK are an irrelevant country, who is a "relevant" country?

The UK's finished, it's an old world country that the new world has no time for.
It's described in diplomatic circles as an old fart of a country that is getting smellier and smellier by the minute.

Canaryboy would be Seething with rage if he actually had an opinion.
He''ll be searching for the next issue with which to start a thread about to start an arguement which he adds nothing to.

indeed tts. i like how when somebody mentioned most brits were pro-capital punishment that it was 'irrelevant' but he then cites the case of some bloke who killed his wife like that has any bearing on this case. just argues, unsuccessfully, for the sake of it.

because what is being argued here is the man's mental state
not whether the death penalty is right or wrong in general
but please feel free to tell me different tho...

Not really. I just believe that mentally ill people might not be functioning in the same way as the rest of society, which means applying the same laws is ridiculous.
Yawn at the leftie luvvie PC comments. They reveal the paucity of your arguments.
If this guy was mentally ill (and like you I don't know) would you be in favour of killing him?
YES OR NO.

As ever, when you start to lose an argument, think up the most far fetched sh1t and throw it and hope it will stick.
Now....IF this guy was mentally ill, would you be in favour of his execution?
YES OR NO.

yes, he is still a drug smuggler,, and being bi polar does not enable people to strap drugs to you without you knowing, if he was in such a state he would not have been able to function, never mind smuggle and record singles.

of course it had a bearing
a person with an illness was found to be insane at the time of the incident due to illness
precisely the same thing which was argued in this case
so should ill people be executed?

a person with an illness was found to be insane at the time of the incident due to illness
He wasn't found to be insane. If he had been insane he would have been locked up in a mental hospital. He was found not guilty because no crime was committed. Just an unfortunate accident while he was asleep.

This mental illness malarkay I don't really get. Anyone who goes around killing and raping and stuff is by and large mentally ill by definition. But the public have to be protected. There are certain crimes that you should get life meaning life for imo. But not death penalty.
I don't really believe that people are born evil, they're pretty much a function of their upbringing and surroundings etc. The aims of the criminal justice system should be the following in this order imo:
1 Protect the Public 2 Deterrent 3 Punishment 4 Rehabilitation

Almost right. Take 3 out. Punishment is basically just revenge, which the state shouldn't really be sanctioning. In any case the deterrent part will in most cases be severe enough to satisfy those who want the convicted to be punished.

i know what you mean history. punishment = revenge. Why would I (or the state) want to punish someone who has murdered someone I don't even know.
Is a funny one, not sure where I stand on that.

i'm against the death penalty, canary. quite rightly we don't have to worry about it over here. they deal with stuff differently in other countries though and if you transgress you're at the mercy of less tolerant judicial systems than our own. no point saying what would happen here as he wasn't tried here.
incidentally,while i haven't really been following this, i understand the chinese don't accept that he was mentally ill. i'm not saying they are right, of course.

too many liberal tree huggers in this country now. if you go to another country you abide by thier laws and be punished accordingly if you break the law. the worst thing this country done was to stop birching people for offences

i'm curious, if you had a relative (father, uncle, brother etc) who was mentally ill to the point where he was dissociated with reality, would you be letting them travel alone to strange and unusual places? and then, when he gets arrested for a crime for which the penalty is death, make no contact for 2 years?
the whole thing beggars belief

well yes easter, i know they do things differently there, i was just making the point that certain justices take illness as a mitigating circumstance. something i agree with. i also believe this man should have had a proper assessment. the way he has reportedly behaved in the lead up to the smuggling is cause for concern imo.

and there is a point about saying what would happen here, because it doesn't mean that what happens elsewhere is right and should be accepted
an extreme i know, but we don't just accept what the nazis did because that's the way their government chose to behave.

not sure how easy it is to stop them sixofclubs. Youcan't put a family member under house arrest. And unless the gov't send them to the nuthouse, they can't either.

if a loony goes on a kiddie raping and murder spree then millions of people are baying for his blood, yet if a loony smuggles drugs then it wasnt his fault and he should be let off. how does that work?

first one is a danger to public, should be locked up for life imo no chance of parole, only released if you can prove he is innocent.
second one i'm not really sure tbh.

You're kidding right? You can argue that they're misguided liberals, but terrorists? They'll fight to get anyone with a British passport or residency off the death penalty anywhere in the world, regardless of the circumstances because they are emphatically against the death penalty.

Wh should China does not compromise it's laws, it's zero tolerance policy on drugs is why the pushers all come here to deal their drugs where if they get caught it's a slap on the wrist and a ticking off instead of death.

He knew what the penalty was if he was caught (or he at least had the opurtunitty to find out) and made the consious decision to still smuggle drugs.
Where is the evidence of his mental illness-noboy has actually come forward with any to my knowledge- so lets see it?
It seems like the bipolar illness has been overplayed to try getting him off.
China's stuck by their rules and principles-its just a shame we dont have similar methods of dealing with such people imo.
Why has nobody put the question to the family of why he was allowed to travel to china if they knew he was mentally unbalanced?
