A bit hard to find open, unbiased, and independent information about a country that forcibly suppresses anything negative about itself, isn't it? Jack Ma criticized the government and suddenly disappeared for years losing his position at the company in the process. If they can do that to one of the most powerful people in the country, they can do it to anyone else.

- kkzz99 3y agoJack Ma never disappeared though, same case with the Chinese Tenis player. Thats the exact same thing the other poster was criticizing. Its the western media making up stories to fit the anti-china narrative.
- pb7 3y agoJust like nothing happened at Tiananmen Square in 1989, right?

- DiogenesKynikos 3y agoThe very first sentence of that Wikipedia article is incorrect (it takes an extremely obtuse reading of Peng Shuai's social media post to construe it as an accusation of sexual assault), so I don't have high hopes for the accuracy of the rest of the article. Wikipedia is good for many things, but not for hot-button political topics. Those sorts of pages are usually written by politically motivated editors, so you're seeing whatever spin the dominant group of editors at that page wants you to see.
