    Maybe actually read the article before just believing what a notorious China watching liar has to say about it. The headline buries the lede. They were arrested for publishing books they didn't obtain publishing rights for, not for criticism. They just claim that "ACTUALLY IT WAS ABOUT US HATING THE GOVERNMENT, NOT ABOUT THE VERY CLEARLY ILLEGAL BUSINESS STUFF WE DID"

      Damn, Jack Ma should have just posted a Winnie the Pooh meme and Chapo would have loved him.

      Good try. Everyone does illegal shit, they just make examples out of dissidents.

      Your rationale is the same that justifies the targeting of minorities for drug laws and traffic infractions. Maybe next time they just shouldn't be doing anything illegal.

            You seem to be missing the very clear trend that all of these people crying wolf are "entrepreneurs". So go ahead and equate punishing the bourgeoisie with oppression of minorities and the working class. It just makes you look like a fool.

        This literally just sounds like a less explicitly racist version of when Liberals say some shit like "chinese culture is breaking the law", she sold 200.000 illegally produced copies of books but because she once said a critic was good thats the only reason she was punished.
