Reply to comment by Defiant-Ad1364 in Immigrant farm worker charged with 7 murders in northern California shooting by vpuetf
Chinese citizen = not American citizen due to Section 9 of China's nationality law. In immigration law, convicted felons are, in theory, deportable. Based on this logic, Mr Zhao could be deported to China. But in practice, his deportation is not likely, as he will serve life in prison in California.
In the event he is deported, because he murdered other Chinese nationals, it may make him eligible for the death penalty in China.

Hmm, I wonder what would happen if he didn't receive a life sentence? Would he serve his sentence, probably be deported afterwards, and then China might punish him (possibly/probably with death)?
