Capital punishment is a legal penalty in the People's Republic of China. It is mostly enforced for murder and drug trafficking, and executions are carried out by lethal injection or gun shooting.
The People's Republic of China executes the highest number of people annually, though other countries (such as Iran) have higher per capita execution rates.
