1. Ok, now I'm depressed.
That's so sad. They tricked her into confessing. It's a brutal world it seems. The wrong people are the ones convicted time and time again. To execute a young girl for carrying some drugs? No words....

6. "Favored nation trading status"

Sorry, but that's one big 'fuck you' to Bill Clinton. Much as I like him, his pen could have prevented rather than enabled the current reality. 20/20 hindsight my ass. We knew China was still a despotic state.
