Additional context (there were questions over at news@hexbear.net : His superior Lai Xiaomin:

  • investigated in April 2018
  • arrested in Nov 2018
  • prosecuted in Feb 2019
  • first court trial in Oct 2020
  • sentenced to death on Jan 5, 2021
  • appeal rejected, verdict maintained on Jan 21, 2021
  • executed on Jan 29, 2021
  • corruption activities were between 2008 and 2018

As for Bai Tianhui:

  • arrested in Jan 2019
  • first court trial, sentenced to death, on May 28, 2024
  • corruption activities were between 2014 and 2018

The jig was up when Lai was investigated in 2018, Bai was already doomed from that point on.

A lot of human life could have been saved with this kind of money in hospitals. But the death sentence is still wrong imo
