Honest question, do you actually support murdering someone by fucking shooting them for dealing something as harmless as pot or are you saying more that you understand the historical context that would lead to a policy like that?
Honest answer: Don't bring drugs into a country that had the average lifespan of it's citizens dropped into the 30s for over a century by foreigners bringing drugs into said country. An alternative concept that would be more understandable would be; don't peddle alcohol among the native peoples that've suffered from 500 years of alchoholism inflicted on them by settler-colonialists peddling hooch to them. If the Native tribes were to regain their lands and form a nation, god willing, then declare the production, sale, and consumption of alchohol illegal with a specific death penalty targeted towards foreigners attempting to sell alchohol - I would support their choice as a people in full understanding of the historical context it's founded upon.
Tl;DR: Stop projecting your values on other cultures, anglo.
There are no objective laws, nor are human rights a thing, laws only make sense in the socio-cultural context they were created in, China doesn't execute drug smugglers for the heck of it. If imperialist aggression ceases, then expect drugs to be less harshly punished/decriminalized, not the other way around.
Historical context, of course shooting someone for dealing is dumb. It's something that a lot of people are cool with though.
For example, in America, "shoot your local heroin dealer" is a common trope in communities effected by the opioid epidemic. In China, their fairly recent history with the opium wars still has a lot of people hating drugs.
Hopefully as the peasantry is proletarianized and educated, a more scientific approach can be taken. For right now though, that would be a broadly unpopular thing to do outside of the more urban areas.

I think putting anyone to death for selling drugs is an objectively bad thing, regardless of history.

Right, because if there’s one position the feds have historically taken, it’s that penalties surrounding selling marijuana shouldn’t be too harsh.
Yeah but we’re talking about pot, not heroin or something
So are you saying you support bringing drugs into China then?
