In a show trial where several life sentences (and one suspended death sentence) were handed down, A Chinese court in Xingtai sentenced three citizens to the maximum punishment for smuggling fentanyl to the US.

It's one of the most high-profile drug prosecutions in China. President Trump has repeatedly insisted that Beijing must do more to curb the flow of fentanyl to the US. Liu Yong, one of the men sentenced, received death with a two-year reprieve, which means his sentence will likely be converted to life without the possibility of parole (assuming he shows good behavior in the ensuing two years).
