The USA isn't the only country that deals harshly when it comes to criminals. Here is part of the story.

"A court has sentenced a Han Chinese man to death for his role in a factory brawl that sparked the Xinjiang riots which left almost 200 people dead.

Another man was given a life sentence, state media reported.

The factory brawl in Guangdong province in June left two Muslim Uighurs dead and 14 others seriously injured.

It sparked the fighting in July between Uighurs and members of China's dominant Han ethnic group, which was the worst ethnic violence in China for decades."
