dictators

from: Egypt Court Nixes Suit Against Mubarak - Tue May 25, 7:41 PM ET Vice president? Vice president? How can we possibly have a dictatorship if we have a vice president? ...case dismissed. ;)

Theres an artlice in Parade about current dictators. I found one theing odd. They mentioned how China has 4000 executions a year, most in the word. Considering Chinas pupulation size, is 4000 that high a number?
