Indeed, what evidence do you possess to pursuade you that the eight Americans who broke Chinese law feel any remorse for breaking the law? I suspect none. (they may feel bad for themselves forbeing locked up, but that aint the same thing, now is it...)
Which makes the term forgiveness misleading. Forgivness involves contrition on the part of guilty and and magnaminity on the part of the aggrieved. If we agree that this is about power, then guilt and contrition have nothing to do with it.
With the exception of one poster, no one here has offered any explanation for this sentencing.
For those of you who bypass the explanation to go straight towards outrage, well, please tell me the difference between you and the religious blowhards who shout scripture in our faces.
I notice you continue to fail to respond to my earlier posts. I will repost:

Day 2, Clinton backs Obama --> party unified under Obama's leadership Check Start McCain equals…

Exactly. If redundant. Power...... is power.

Your original statement does not stand. Since no amount of reason seems to affect you, I will bid you farewell.

Extrality comes from the Western Treaty ports and Zones of the 19th and 20th century -- primarily and pointedly in China.
I do not urge extrality. I point out:
The American embassy is not asking for forgiveness. Its urging for leniency -- leniency for the American nationals who broke Chinese…
