After the People's Republic of China, the United States executes more people every year than any other country. There are currently about 3,500 prisoners on "Death Row" in the US.
The US is also the only country in the world, apart from Iran, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen, that executes children. Over 70 prisoners remain on death row in the USA for crimes committed when they were 16 or 17 years old.
I agree that China has a lot to answer for. But the US is far from innocent in its policies with regards to the death penalty itself.
