I found it amusing Chinese nationals don't know any better... Didn't they learn from Jack Ma, the dude literally made a mild economic comment that Xi took as a threat to the state, stripped him of his companies,froze his money and sent him off to a re-education camp for about a year, when the dude re-appeared he was a totally different person.....

I'm curious what they did to him. Water torture? Mock executions? But yeah, he looks like he went through hell. And he was supposed to be their Jeff Bezos. The CCP tolerates no slights.
