Coincidentally, a Stanford Chinese American scientist, Prof. Shoucheng Zhang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoucheng_Zhang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoucheng_Zhang), who discovered the Quantum Spin Hall effect that plays a big part in the recent Intel announcement of the next generation of chip design, was found dead on Stanford campus on Dec. 1st. Before he's death, Prof. Zhang went together with Huawei's CFO to attend a dinner in Argentina on Dec. 1st. Basically, after that dinner in Argentina, one of them is dead, another is arrested.

  That's not a trustworthy news source. Why would a renowned scientist doing world changing research commit suicide suddenly?

    My speculation is that he lost a lot of money on the crypto market. https://medium.com/blockchain-connect-conference/backing-theta-labs-and-orchid-shoucheng-and-dhvc-are-betting-big-on-blockchain-83e75ba7b7e3 https://medium.com/blockchain-connect-conference/backing-the...

    That isn't unprecedented sadly, Wallace Carothers [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Carothers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_Carothers], the inventor of nylon committed suicide despite becoming head researcher of DuPont. Despite admitting serious red flags that could harm his ability to work the CEO came out to personally persuade him. In the great depression no less. Of course neither is murdering the turbulent.

    Many people at the top of their field suffer from depression. Floer was a 28 year old tenured professor at Berkeley when he killed himself.

There is no way for all the events you prescribed to happen in one day across four different countries. I'm sorry to hear the loss of Prof. Zhang, however I suspect that his death may have had something to do with his heavy investment in some questionable blockchain startups.

Sources about this? Can't find anything that corroborates what you're saying about them being at the G20

And Coincidentally, ASML ( The only manufacture of EUV Equipment in the World used by every Leading node Fab ) had a Fire Hazard which causes Product Delays. I don't know about you, but these are not an accident, there are links in the Chain, the work of a single organisation, the Syndicate. A rogue nation trying to do destroy the system that created them, regardless who is in the way. An Anti - IMF. Ok small jokes only. But both pieces of news, the professor and CFO arrested are blocked in WeChat and Weibo so no one knew about it.

    Did you try sending it on WeChat ? All I got was content was blocked. Edit: I tried again, turns out the Link I sent was blocked, but the news is in the wild now.
