Jack Ma is missing since October.
No one knows what happened to him, in my opinion I doubt they killed him simply because he was in China. What's the point of killing him there? They can simply remove him from the picture.
- paganel 6y ago> Jack Ma is missing since October. Recent article on this [1], because I must admit that for me also this was a tough thing to believe.

- pankajdoharey 6y agoAlthough i think it will reflect poorly on CCP to secretly make Jack go missing, who is actually a world famous personality at this point. One should also remember that anything is possible in a totalitarian regime.
- libertine 6y agoWill it though? You live in the time where there's massive outrage for one week, but the next week that's the subject of the past that lost hype and momentum so it's forgotten. I think the CCP knows this, hell even political leaders of the free world know this - no one resigns due to scandals anymore. They just sit tight, don't acknowledge it, and it blows over.
- pankajdoharey 6y agoThat is true, but Jack isnt any ordinary Billionaire, this would affect Chinese businesses.

- xwdv 6y agoMaking a man like Jack Ma disappear and possibly dead sends a message that no matter how rich and famous you are, don't fuck with the CCP. That's how it will reflect. Poorly, and fearsomely.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoI genuinely have no idea how these articles are making this claim. They say that "reports surfaced" making the claim, but the only source they show making any claim is the Financial Times saying he did not attend a TV show taping in November. Are people that normally see him also reporting him missing? Or other events he had to cancel lately?
- hilbertseries 6y agoHe also stopped posting on social media and has yet to surface to reject claims that he's missing.
- boomboomsubban 6y agoHis Twitter account was created in March and he follows zero people. I'd guess it was created as PR for the IPO, and possibly controlled by others.
- xwdv 6y agoNo one knows? Most likely a man like that is probably dead at this point or being held against his will waiting to die.
- libertine 6y agoI meant "no one" as in foreign organizations outside of China control (media, etc).
- throw4456342 6y agoI remember when the actress Fan Bing Bing went “missing” and now she’s back in the spotlight. Or when the media reported Dr. Ai Fen (one of the first to identify COVID-19) was “missing,” but less than a week later she posting on Weibo and back at work. Once Jack Ma is found, I wonder who will be the next person the media claims is missing?
- someperson 6y agoWuhan citizen journalists Chen Qiushi and Fang Bin are still missing almost a year after disappearing, but they were regular people with less international media scrutiny.
