ADVERTISEMENT First instituted in the province in 2001, lethal injection will now become standard in all its 14 city-level administrative districts, the Xinhua News Agency said, citing provincial chief justice Wang Zhenhua. China has been gradually phasing in lethal injection as an execution method, calling it more humane and less traumatic for criminals and their families. Authorities have not set a date for phasing out firing squads completely. Yunnan province in the southwest became the first to exclusively adopt lethal injection in 2003, Xinhua said. Rights groups say China executes more people annually than the rest of the world combined, including for nonviolent crimes such as embezzlement and bribe taking. The actual death penalty figures are treated as a state secret, although rights groups estimate the figure for 2007 at about 6,000. Legal authorities have sought to rein in abuses of the death penalty, particularly by demanding that all death sentences be reviewed by the nation's supreme court. They have called also for the penalty to be imposed only in the most extreme cases, although the punishment retains wide public support in China.
