China has confirmed the execution of a French national convicted of drug trafficking, drawing a formal response from both Beijing and Paris.

In a statement issued on April 5, a spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in France said that combating drug-related crimes is a shared responsibility of all countries. The spokesperson emphasized that China operates under the rule of law and treats defendants of all nationalities equally, handling cases strictly and impartially in accordance with legal procedures while safeguarding the lawful rights of those involved.

According to reports, the individual—identified as 62-year-old Chan Thao Phoumy—had been sentenced to death in 2010 and executed after spending approximately 15 years on death row and a total of two decades in detention. The execution was reportedly carried out in Guangzhou, southern China.

France’s Foreign Ministry said it had made repeated clemency appeals prior to the execution. In its statement, the ministry extended condolences to the man’s family, noting that it shared in their grief.

Man Collapses, Demands Divorce After Male Doctor Performs Pregnant Wife's Ultrasound

On March 26, the routine atmosphere of the Changchun Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital was suddenly interrupted by a scene that has since sparked intense discussion across Chinese social media.

A video captured a man in a black short-sleeved shirt who had reached a complete emotional breaking point while accompanying his pregnant wife for a prenatal check-up. The source of his distress was the discovery that the physician performing his wife's ultrasound was male.

The footage shows the man visibly agitated, shouting to anyone within earshot that he could no longer stay in the marriage. "I can't live with this, getting divorced tomorrow," he yelled repeatedly. While another man in black tried to restrain him and calm him down, the husband eventually broke free and charged toward the hospital's inquiry desk, physically striking the structure in his frustration.

Following the incident, the hospital addressed the situation on March 27 to clarify the events and reassure the public. A staff member noted that the outburst was not classified as a medical dispute. After the consultation was finished, hospital personnel focused on comforting the pregnant wife, who was caught in the middle of the scene. The couple has since left the premises. While the hospital declined to share specific personal details due to privacy concerns, they emphasized that their staff includes both male and female doctors, though female physicians make up the majority.

The hospital's Prenatal Diagnosis Center later explained that patients have a significant amount of agency when it comes to the gender of their attending physician. In the registration system, patients can usually see the doctor's gender through their profile photo before booking an appointment. If a patient or their family feels uncomfortable with a male doctor, they are encouraged to specifically select a female doctor during the registration process or simply request a change during the examination.

The hospital also stated that doctors do not view patients through the lens of gender, but rather as individuals in need of care. However, they acknowledge that personal comfort levels vary, and the option to switch to a female doctor is always on the table for those who prefer it.

The incident has triggered a wave of reactions across Chinese social media, with many expressing deep concern for the wife's well-being. One netizen wrote bluntly, "I hope they really get divorced," reflecting a sentiment shared by many who viewed the husband's behavior as an extreme overreaction. Others pointed out the potential for future domestic friction, with one popular comment stating, "Getting divorced is the only way to be safe; otherwise, he will definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble later." As the debate intensified, many users criticized the man's outdated perspective, noting that "even though it's the 21st century, some people's thinking is stuck in the past."

French national Chan Tao Fumi has been executed in Guangzhou, southern China, after being sentenced to death in 2010 for drug trafficking, according to France's Foreign Ministry, as reported by AFP.

The 62-year-old, who was born in Laos and held French citizenship, was executed despite what French authorities described as ongoing diplomatic efforts to obtain clemency on humanitarian grounds.

Chan was first arrested in 2005 and initially sentenced to life imprisonment. However, following the emergence of new evidence, his case was reopened, and he was retried. A court in Guangzhou later convicted him of involvement in the production, transport, smuggling, and trafficking of methamphetamine.

Authorities stated that the case was connected to a broader criminal network allegedly engaged in large-scale synthetic drug production between 1999 and 2003.
