China maintains the death penalty for a large number of
offenses, including non-violent crimes and economic crimes. A large
proportion of sentences and executions are imposed for drug-related
crimes. Execution is by shooting.
Based on public reports available, Amnesty International estimated that at least 1,010 people were executed in China during 2006 year, although the true figures were believed to be much higher.
Credible sources suggest that between 7,500 to 8,000 people were executed in China in 2006. The official statistics remain a state secret, making monitoring and analysis problematic.
