Trust By Way of Execution

Four foreign prisoners were displayed on a live TV Chinese broadcast being led to their executions. These prisoners were convicted of murdering twelve Chinese sailors and the broadcast showed them being bundled up and shoved into police cars. Throughout the broadcast, images of the Chinese judicial force were constantly shown, inspecting the crime scene, arresting the prisoners, and conducting interviews about the Chinese Rule of Law. The  Chinese government wants to let its people know that they are serious about protecting them whether it be inside or outside of the country so its a political play for the government to gain the trust of their people a little more.
