15 years seems pretty long for a sentence outside of the US, but I don't know what the average would be in China. I'm just aware that our sentencing structure is ridiculously long for no good reason.
For cold-blooded murder tho? China has the death penalty.
If there wasn't extenuating circumstances, it would be wildly irresponsible to let someone who does that sort of thing free without approval from mental health or parole or whatever that she's not going to do it again.
I don't think China is like Sweden where they can just say "not safe for society, lets revisit this again in 15 years".
The alternative, that there were some mitigating factors just seems more likely.
