Most of the sources seem only to ‘verify’ that china executes people. Which is probably how this article has been up for so long if I had to guess, since the average person looks at the handful of sources and goes ‘ah, this is true then’ without realizing that the only actual linked sources are for things like “China executes 2,400 people a year” lol. (Source #2: https://www.scmp.com/infographics/article/1631703/infographic-capital-punishment)
Whole article seems to stem from this 2012 Washington Post article with the image caption being ‘Chinese police lead a condemned man into a special execution van to be put to death. (AFP/Getty Images)’
Now is this an ‘execution’ van? A prisoner transport van? Who can really say. But
Shit wikipedia article and I bet it would be a headache to actually get deleted but it does seem like there has been one user (Causa sui) who has consistently kept an eye on the page and removed edits that have been egregiously unsourced, so I bet they would probably be in support of nuking the page.
