I know it's a joke, and they probably get only a tiny minority of cases... but the Chinese government makes a huge show of executing people that do stuff like this.

> the Chinese government makes a huge theater of execution people that do stuff like this.

This sentence has a critical grammatical error, but I can't figure out what it was supposed to say.

Execution should be executing

Also not sure about the usage of theater there. I'd probably swap it out for "show". Never heard theater used like that although it is pretty close to a standard idiom, "to make a show of something".

Thanks, changed both.
