Okay this is not at all likely but wouldn't it be crazy if you know, given China's reputation, it's possible that Jack Ma could just be sitting tight out of public view letting the world assume that China killed him until they capitulate to his demands.
- solstice 6y agoVery unlikely indeed. The government/party bigwigs he recently antagonize are not going to let an entrepreneur shame them publicly and let him get away with that. He's keeping or being kept out of public view until things are settled. I don't think they care what other countries assume and therefore there's no way for pressure to build up
- boxed 6y agoThat would be pretty stupid. Then they would have already gotten the PR hit of killing him, might as well do it.
- birdyrooster 6y agoMaybe I am not as crazy as I thought "After reports speculating about Alibaba founder Jack Ma’s whereabouts, CNBC’s David Faber reported Tuesday that the billionaire is not missing, according to a person familiar with the matter. Instead, Ma has been lying low for the time being, Faber reported."
- jjeaff 6y agoLikely lying low either at the demand of the party or for his own self preservation. I doubt he would be trying to really force the party's hand.
