The number does not reveal the whole sentiment. It is not the biggest issue for most who oppose it and the objection does not look the same as the western discussion of the issue.
Sure, death penalties are a problem though, outside of crisis and conflict. That is when the productive forces are developed as they are in China. The tradition of execution can also be traced to pre-Socialist movements and practices of parts of what we now call China (and the fucking imperialist Brits who used it at every opportunity). As such it predates Marxist-dialectical understandings and isn’t just to be supported for the sake of it being practiced.
That said, Central Park looks good at this time of the year.
this is like saying “it’s very imperialist and racist to criticize the illegality of homosexuality in the middle east”
ik that’s a hyperbolic example, but you can’t expect everyone to respect a value/practice that can be reactionary and infringe on human rights. not to blame individual chinese people for being fine with it, and it might not be a big deal, but that doesn’t mean we can’t call out the practice regardless of the country.
