I suspect that speaking frankly on the air about that topic would not threaten his family so much as it would threaten his career, which likely depends to a large extent on his relationship with a number of people in the Communist Party.
- Stanleyc23 9y ago> that topic would not threaten his family so much as it would threaten his career with what data or experience do have to make this assertion?
- yarg 9y agoProbably the same amount not data and experience that I have to express the contrary.
- yarg 9y agoI have little doubt that all this man owns could and would be taken away if he took any stance against the regime. He would either end up dead or in a hole. There's nothing in an honest answer to the question he was asked by which could serve Beijing either from a political or a business perspective. Likewise a propaganda based answer would have gotten him nowhere in any thinking society. I do not know what sort of punishment could or would result for him from any fallout from a radio interview the in western media. That sheepish 'no' however, made me think not of some machiavellian monster, but of a scared little boy. I really do wonder, just what is he afraid of?
