Chinese top judge Xiao Yang said since the Supreme Court took back the power of reviewing death sentences from provincial courts since Jan. 1 last year, the capital punishment has been "strictly, cautiously, and fairly" meted out to the tiny number of serious criminal offenders in China.
"The transition work has been smooth, orderly and trials of death sentence cases are normal," Xiao, president of the Supreme People's Court and chief justice, said in his work report to the ongoing session of the Parliament, without elaboration.
