Down bear if you are a reactionary
Americans following it assume he's dead because no celebrity here would ever let that rumor float without offering proof of life. Maybe that's not how P.R. works in China? Honestly don't know.
I'm assuming he's alive and they forced him into silence simply because killing him feels way too good to be true.
This is not the first time a prominent Chinese businessman has mysteriously "disappeared". In some cases, they reappear months later, arrested by the PRC govt and put on trial.
"communist" billionaire spoke against party and policy. his billions did not save him.
Not just that he also started a finance firm. To compete against the government controlled banks.
just remember: they allowed him to be a billionaire.
they killed him for talking shit.
fuck that awful government. celebrate a dead billionaire.
celebrate or be shot. we need a win right now. even if its at the hands of a totalitarian state that allowed billionaires to exist.
well one less exists now. (dead or not his money is freed up)
Id take getting started over what the fuck we have going on here any day.
that's true; dead or not, he's no longer a billionaire.
but please please please can he be dead? or part of a human(or as close as a billionaire can get) centipede?
me being pale with shitty genocidal ancestors who were definitely slavers doesn't make having billionaires any more compatible with communism. there are legit communist states, in asia even, it's just that china hasn't been one for a very very long time. mao's torch is carried elsewhere, and survives far from its birthplace.
they do capitalism more competently than some other countries I could mention though.
they may not (I don't listen to or care what comes out of the public lie-hole of shitty governments when I can help it), but I hear it very often from self described communists, that china is.
In all likelyhood, getting a slap on the wrist? This is the chapo equivalent of when liberals celebrate Kim Jong-Un's death every other month.
