Usually with these older cases the outcry would only come way after it was carried out. The poor lady suffered a lifetime only for it to end in a terrible outcome.
In a few more recent cases from the 2000s to 2010s, there have been a few cases of wives killing abusive husbands in self defense and having their sentences lightened (from heavy sentences reduced to 3-8 years) after their circumstances are reviewed and with some public outcry (easier access to information during recent times). The Yu Huan case from above is another example.
I couldn't find any recent official comments on that case, the original ruling essentially said that 法律无情 (direct translation as the law is heartless and impartial).
One recent case that did blow up in 2016 involved a son who defended his mother from a dozen usury debt collectors, they confined both of them and humilated the mother to a degree which caused the son to pick up a knife and fight back, killing one and injuring three. The initial police response before the stabbing was terrible, with the two officers clearly seeing the two in distress but they wrote it off as a simple civil dispute and left the area.
Originally the son was sentenced to life imprisonment, but after an outcry it was overturned to 5 years and he was out on good behaviour in 2020. As of 2022 he was set to get married. The criminal boss behind the high interest debt was sentenced to 25 years.
because she had a criminal record, there could be no other sentence
That's one of the worst parts, as her prior criminal record was due to her being pretty much forced into prostitution after being kicked out of home by her abusive family.
Tragically according to the article, she was abused by her father as a child and was eventually kicked out of her home. This resulted in her being on the streets, being abused by anyone who took her in, eventually working at certain 'establishments' (you know the type). After serving a year behind bars, she returned home where she was sold numerous times and ended up being sold to the village thug.
She not only suffered years of physical and sexual abuse by her drunk husband, but also his piece of shit cousins who assaulted her numerous times, resulting in a pregnancy. As a result she gave birth to a son, but the straw that broke the camel's back was when her husband tied her to a tree and attacked her with weapons, demanding to know who the child's dad was. After she woke up and saw that the child had been murdered by her husband, she lost it and killed the husband with a sickle.
She was sentenced to death and it was carried out in 1995.
Probably a mix of constant anti-communist media as well as the fact that the KMT were partnering with the Germans for a time until the Germans chose to stick with the more militarily powerful Japan...
To me this feels like the CIA has already infected the Chinese Webspace.
Also, what’s a “Pinko Commie”?
Completely infested, the web and social media is a shitshow including the domestic version of Tiktok which has a healthy amount of pro-US content lol.
Pinko is an old American term to label those who are sympathetic to 'lefty' ideals, so these users calling others 'little pinks' (literal translation, but meaning is essentially 'commie') pretty much tells us that they're anti-CPC overtly while they'll use more vague terms to cover for the fact that they're the typical pro-west lib with a superiority complex.
and lastly, reich-wingers and libs should see this post since they believe chinese social media is le authoritarian redfash 1984 orwell where you can’t say shit; despite usonian-esque posts being prevalent and going unpunished in chinese platforms.
Yeah this part will spin the heads of libcons as Chinese social media is all over the place lol.
Places like Weibo and Zhihu (Twitter and Quora equivalents) are filled with pro-western liberals who won't hesitate to lick Japanese and Western boots. You don't even have to say anything pro-Russian, just being anti-NATO and anti-US will cause these bots/trolls to call you a "yellow skinned Russian" or even a "pinko commie". There are also fascist (many calling themselves German enthusiasts) admirers spreading western propaganda about Azov and raising funds to support them.
There are also typical Reddit types whose reactions to any global or regional dispute with "nuke them already". Even on the topic of Cuba/DPRK/USSR, you'd expect it to be 100% "1984 redfash support redfash" but again there's plenty spreading the Western or nationalist versions of things lol.
One of the funniest comments I've seen was "a certain subset of Chinese love/worship the United States more than the Americans themselves" lol.
Most likely they'll leave the severely weakened ROC troops bear the brunt while Tsai and her clique attempt to escape to Japan and subsequently somewhere else afterwards to establish a 'government in exile'.
Strangely enough the DPP had consistently weakened them compared to the old KMT which at one point posed a credible threat to re-invade during the cultural revolution era...
lol there are plenty of peoples on the Zhihu (their version of Quora), Weibo and Bilibili worshipping the "universal values", "freedom of speech". These libs often refer to the US as "the motherland in my dreams/that I have yet to see".
Even with the recent disaster in Ohio which even western liberals would try to avoid, Chinese liberals are trying to dig up all accidents that happened in the PRC to defend the US response to it lol.
Many of the more well hidden ones exposed themselves as fascist sympathisers proclaiming their full support for the NATO US sponsored nazi forces.
Europe being extremely deep in its own issues, this provides for an excellent chance to deflect the attention to "OMGEE SISIPEE ON brink of collapse!!1" with their own manufactured colour revolution.
Damn, that particular user has been debunking stupid westoid propganda on that site for a long time.
Major props for that.
As for the Fatlander who asked the question, what a psychotic piece of shit lol. Imagine wishing to starve billions to death just because your fragile notion of white superiority was in tatters because non-whites are improving their own lives instead of begging on their knees.
