Most countries have capital punishment for crimes like treason.
Capital punishment for common crimes is more rare.
China, North Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Many of the SE Asia contries do too. Most of Arab/Muslim countries.

China executes the most by far. They have received heavy criticism for it. Any dictatorial nation has it (and there are still many of those scattered around the globe). Pretty much all of Europe has abolished it, though.
