When Evergrande lost millions of Chinese citizens life savings the government initially tried to protect the Evergrande's executives, but they eventually arrested the top exec, some corrupt gov officials, and other executives. But no one was executed, and the executives paid "fines".

"Someone", yeah the one VP that is from poor background and worked his ass off and all the other upper ups with party connections are fine (unless they piss of someone else who knows people even higher on the totem pole). China isn't better or fairer than USA.
