    They have a lot of ways to reduce their population.The ones in effect are execution,re education through labor,cheap cars made out of tin cans, and the one/two child policy.

    Some best bits:

    "in 2005 Shaikh's life started to unravel further. He suddenly packed his bags and left for Poland, says his brother, where he announced plans to set up an airline despite having no means to do so."

    "At some point he acquired a girlfriend, who told the Observer she soon became concerned by his "really silly and crazy" behaviour, such as the time he sent her a fake letter purporting to show he had won £1m."

    "He then started a prolonged email campaign, sharing his delusions with celebrities and government officials he had never met, firing off endless dispatches typed in an enormous 72-point font. Hundreds of emails sent by Shaikh to the British embassy in Warsaw from 2005 reveal the state of his mind. In the messages, obtained by Reprieve, he claimed to have spoken to the angel Gabriel and explained that he could have foiled the July 7 bombings in 2005, had he only been allowed to hold a press conference. One email appeared to be a letter to Father Christmas."

    "Today, two men who helped Shaikh record the song said it was clear he was psychiatrically ill. Gareth Saunders, a British teacher and musician who sang back-up on the song, said, "he clearly thought this song was going to have a very positive impact on the world".

    He added: "It would be totally unlike him to get mixed up in drugs. However, it would be totally typical of him to fall for some kind of story that some drug dealer might spin to him concerning making his record in China … He would be so desperate for human contact that if some shady character came up to him to talk, Akmal would have gone on and on about his song, and it would have been easy for someone to see that he could be exploited.""

    Thank you. I typically don't search the internet for every execution or similar. I can agree he does seem mentally unstable, but I'm having extreme doubts about the whole story behind it. I'm sorry but it seems too much like a movie. I know if I was a drug dealer, I wouldn't willingly risk 250k on someone I had just met. To me, that seems unbelievable.

    That's how they do it. Nobody in the right mind would smuggle that much heroin for a stranger, so they exploited a mentally unstable man instead by giving him false hope and making phony promises about a record deal or whatever. It's not like they just met him at the airport on the day. He had fallen in with these guys.

    However it happened, they still executed a mentally ill man for a non-violent offence.

    my point is, china doesn't have enough space in jail. Even with their policies, the population still continues to go up.

    Being delusional =/= mental illness. I have known a few people who have depicted traits and mentalities outlined in that article, and none of them were remotely mentally ill.

    He knew what he was doing.
