I wonder why Chiba changed her mind.
And do we know how often capital punishment is used in China?

As far as I know there is no way to appeal against a death sentence in Japan.Keiko Chiba, the Japanese justice minister who despite opposing capital punishment is required to attend a prisoners execution.

Last month, Ms Chiba became the first justice minister to witness an execution when she sat grey-faced through the hangings of Kazuo Shinozawa, 59, and Hidenori Ogata, 33. The decision caught many people by surprise � Ms Chiba was widely expected to begin a moratorium on the death penalty.
Yesterday she said she hoped her actions would help the public decide on the system's merits. "It was the most open we could be, after considering the feelings of death row inmates, those who are close to them and prison guards as well as security problems.
