TOKYO -- Japan executed its first foreigner in 10 years on Thursday, a Chinese man convicted in the 2003 murder and robbery of a family of four.
Wei Wei, 40, was hanged Thursday at a detention center in Fukuoka where he had been on death row for more than 16 years, Justice Minister Masako Mori said.

I would advise people not to commit murder in Japan. The gallows will be waiting in Japan’s Death Row.
But.....Wei Wei??
The odds were in Wei Wei’s favor. He opted to pick one of the two of seven “advanced nations” to commit his crime.
He got wee-wee’d
Need more of those punishments here.
In China, he would have gotten a bullet to the back of the head. He died humanely in Japan.
He STILL got ‘three hots and a cot’ for 16 YEARS! More than his victims got!
Wei Wei got to swing, swing.
Ok. Maybe 1 not-so-hot and a sleeping mat. But, still!
He lived wei wei too many years.
No drugs and no drama. A rope, a beam and gravity. How come we didn’t think of that? /s
Best part:
Executions are carried out in high secrecy in Japan, where prisoners are not informed of their fate until the morning they are hanged.
In Southeast Asia, its the end of the rope if you smuggle in illicit drugs.
He probably did...................
Wei Wei? Any relation to Anthony Weiner?
Japan versus China. Long time hatefest. Still unforgiving over WWII.
Reminds me somewhat of the conflict alleged by
the Zen master Dr. D.T. Suzuki about America:
“God against man. Man against God. Man against nature. Nature against man. Nature against God. God against nature. Very funny religion!”
But Asians keep 1,000 year old grudges themselves. The Chinese Communists under Mao overran the Tibetans (including the Dalai Lama’s people) and raped thousands of women and girls, tortured some men and killed others to acquaint Tibetans with the uplifting Chicom system on their horizon./s
I’ll take America and the Judeo Christian based way of life over any of theirs.
100% Deterrent. This murderer will NEVER commit a crime again.
The bible is full of warnings on grudges. IMHO, forgiveness is one of the concepts that made western civilization great.
Wei Wei was Wei Wong.
