Show Chinas Mass Executions Reflect Accelerated Anti-Crim- e Drive - PEKING (LPI) Thirteen thousand spectators packed Peking's Workers Gymnasium last week to watch 18 men, their heads shaven and bowed, condemned to death and taken immediately to the capital s execution ground and shot. That same day another rally in Shanghai meted out death penalties to two people identified as Wu Shanming, "a swindler," and Ji Yonghe, "a thief, before a crowd of more than 10,000 onlookers. The morbid proceedings raised the execution toll in Peking and Shanghai to at least 27 people this month, signaling that China's nationwide crackdown on crime, now in its third year, is gathering force.

The latest wave of executions follows last year's nationwide 26 8 percent upsurge in the rate of "serious criminal cases. Chinese Public Security Minister Ruan Chongwu recently attributed the growing rate of serious" offenses to corruption and other economic crime unleashed by China's economic liberalization and open-doo- r policy. Western analysts say the crackdown is especially worrisome because of the likelihood police and prosecutors will violate China's landmark 1979 criminal code in their eagerness to carry out stringent Communist Party and government crimefighting policies. Such goals have contributed to tens of thousands of cases of power abuse by Chinese police, who still are accustomed to their dominance over the criminal process in China during the 1950s and 60s. 4 Director of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Peking Childrens Hospital, as saying.
