It seems to me that the Chinese government is not managed well. Yes, the Shenzhen researcher should have been stopped, but I see no reason to put him in prison.
He went to prison for embarrassing the Chinese government. If this happened in America or EU, then they would go to prison for performing unethical experiments on humans. In modern times, for good or for bad there is a large process before we try something on humans. As the past has shown that there have been a lot of death, and often unjust selection on who to experiment on. And many are suffering from the consequences after the fact.
Hold up... are you actually under the impression that you need to PAY for a trial by jury in the US? And that people are required to sit in jail for YEARS waiting on trial based upon financial resources??
That's an impressive level of stupidity.
The sixth amendment to the constitution guarantees a citizen's right to a trial by jury regardless of personal finances and also provides a right to a "speedy" trial... which is further protected from delay by the speedy trial act of 1974.
Unfortunately, parts of the Constitution are blatantly ignored. The Fifth Amendment is supposed to protect against unreasonable search and seizure, yet civil forfeiture is common practice. The Thirteenth Amendment is supposed to outlaw slavery, but prisoners can be treated as slaves. The Second Amendment is supposed to protect one's right to own firearms, yet many places create laws that diminish that right (such as limits on ammo).
Some parts of the Constitution are still upheld (like the First), but many
Some parts of the Constitution are still upheld (like the First), but many others are outright ignored at times.
Only part of the First Amendment is being upheld, and even that is under assault by the con artist. The separation of church and state is clearly not being upheld. In fact, it borders on being outright ignored.
Sorry I must have missed that part in the constitution where it says that the Church and state are separate. Oh because it is not there.
What it does say is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." I guess you forgot to read it before quoting it. Also whoever the con artist is (I am guessing the same person who told you that Church and state are separate in the constitution.) Please limit your accusations of assault on the constitution

Most Americans can't afford a proper jury trial. They often can't even afford bail, so they sit in jail for years waiting for a trial date.
Much better to just take a plea deal for an immediate reduced sentence, whether you are guilty or not.
Per capita, America incarcerates four times as many people as China.
