Olympics Building Chief: Life Imprisonment Or Execution?

From: Kurpalo
The former Beijing vice mayor, Liu Zhihua, has been suspended for two years on his execution. He was charged with bribery, accumulating to about $1 million, that his mistress and himself spent luxuriously. He abused his stance and power, pocketing money from loans and promotions. He also supervised the construction of the Olympics in Beijing as well. He was arrested in 2006 for corruption. After the two year suspension, it is a possibility that he will get life imprisonment instead of execution for "good behavior."

I could actually infer from this story that it's quite possible that he is not the only person that would have done this or has done this, but he was one that was caught and has to face the consequences now. It's interesting to see how immediately he would face execution, such a harsh penalty but considering their government and policies it would make sense. Although, life imprisonment in China doesn't sound like my cup of tea either...
