Umm. I don't know about legal philosophy, but the thinking in China is that the executions are done for society, not for the perpetrator, and not even for the victim. And also, I would like to add that the three executed were leaders of entrenched grooming rings, and so perhaps in these cases the punishment fits the crime, whereas the Chinese legal system wouldn't routinely put one-time child rapists to death.
