That’s good, everyone should play by the same rule. The rich billionaires should know they can be squashed at any time if they bend the rules

- garmaine 6y agoHe didn’t bend the rules. He had the audacity to voice an opinion.
- volgo 6y agoSo did Martin Skrehli. Your point? Publicly fighting with regulators is a bad idea, I’m anywhere in the world, o matter how rich you are
- garmaine 6y agoPolitely suggesting moderate policy reforms in the context of a business workshop dedicated to such matters is hardly "publicly fighting with regulators" let alone anything deserving of being disappeared. https://time.com/5926062/jack-ma/ https://time.com/5926062/jack-ma/
- volgo 6y agoLooks like you, along with many other hawks, were wrong https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/05/alibaba-founder-jack-ma-is-laying-low-for-the-time-being-not-missing.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/05/alibaba-founder-jack-ma-is-l...
- garmaine 6y agoAccording to an unnamed source. They didn’t even talk to Ma. In any case, zero relevance to what I was talking about. I think you responded to the wrong comment.
- volgo 6y agoSo you talked to Jack Ma? Lol you read a bunch random speculation about how he’s missing when there’s no proof. The. Try to construct a narrative from it
- garmaine 6y agoAll this speculation could be laid to rest with egg on the face of western media outlets with just one proof-of-life phone call. The CCP, who he would like to get back in good graces with, would certainly want that. So why hasn’t it happened?

- bufferoverflow 6y agoWas Martin Skrehli imprisoned because of expressing his opinion? Or was it because of securities fraud maybe?
- tasuki 6y agoHe got imprisoned for securities fraud because he expressed his opinion. If he'd kept a low profile he wouldn't have gotten imprisoned.

- loceng 6y agoYou're not allowed to say what you just said - you will be punished, and your family, and your place of work if you say this again.
- ekianjo 6y ago> That’s good, everyone should play by the same rule. Again missing the point. There's no rule in dictatorships. The only 'rule' is the whims of the leadership. I wonder why so many people want to leave such countries instead of emigrating there - there must be some kind of reason, but I can't exactly picture it...
- volgo 6y agoSpoken like someone who’s never traveled the world or seriously thought about philosophy and only knows the world via CNN or NYtimes
- ekianjo 6y agoYou might be quite wrong on that series of assumptions.
- bufferoverflow 6y agoI lived in USSR, me and my family lived through it. You're the one who is wrong. The comment above is correct.
- volgo 6y agoUSSR is a failed civilization because they couldn’t steer good government policies. China is way different. Don’t equate the two just because they’re both “communists” That’s like equating the US and India
- ekianjo 6y ago> China is way different Not different at all on how they treat human lives. Different economically, but that's about it.
