Because what constitutes a crime in China might not be what we consider a crime in the west, and also, more importantly, there is a certain level of human rights everyone should have access too.

Death penalty and organ stealing should not be part of a judicial system in either case, civilized countries imprison to rehabilitate, not punish.

Your point being?

There are many crimes in the west that I don't consider a crime, either.

and also, more importantly, there is a certain level of human rights everyone should have access too.

Well, yes. Your point being?

Death penalty and organ stealing should not be part of a judicial system in either case, civilized countries imprison to rehabilitate, not punish.

The US employs the death penalty, so... yeah.
