Abstract: Between 2009 and 2015, China executed at least 19 foreigners for drug trafficking. This study examines some notable cases in which foreign drug offenders were death sentenced and executed in China and discusses issues exposed. It further contrasts international due process protection requirements for foreigners who face criminal charges based on China’s laws and shows that China’s laws largely comply with international standards, though there is the question on compliance in actions.
