China proving no one is untouchable?
Papa Pooh is untouchable.
Money is rushing out to western countries for a good reason. It ain't yours til you get it out of CCP's reach.
Unfortunately BABA is in a lot of Mutual Fund portfolios, and it has lost 20-25% even since Ma's speech against regulations in Oct after the same regulators bypassed procedures under the table to get his ANT group IPO fast tracked.
Uh oh
Speak out negatively about the motherland while IN the motherland is not a good idea.
Even if I 'had' 45 billion - If I was able to escape that shit hole with a few mil to start over with I'd be outta there on the first rickshaw to mongolia.
Anyone check Hawaii?
Everybody be missing. Especially in the big cities. Poor people are packing up in the middle of the night and running from creditors. Rich people are running away from the high density poor people. Gen Z pitching tents in the middle of the desert.
probably in some unmarked plot of land.....
With access to water and full sun along with a earth berm north wall, I'd think about doing the 88 solar panels and living away from the cities.
Its totally doable nowadays. Ride out the apocalypse on a years worth of tinned meat.
Far from unmarked, China has more reeduction centers than our dollar stores.

And 2021 is off to a running start...Chinese Jeff Bezos goes missing.
But seriously this is a pretty unprecedented event even by Chinese standards. Heard before that Yao Ming is untouchable based on his hero status and he was one of the few people able to have honest conversations to and about the govt. Jack is arguably even more admired and has much more economic power so perhaps govt felt their power was threatened and needed to nip this in bud right away.
He might be hiding vs missing?
Well it's a 2020 news:

I think it just sensationalized since he failed to show up to judge a reality show.
People who anticipated the huge ANT IPO was watching this closely since Oct.
The problem with his speech is that Ma shows that Chinese laws are arbitrary and made a lot of officials looked bad.
On the other hand this is pretty standard procedure. There's been other celebrities go missing i.e. FBB and reappear with a new perspective. US wishes they could regulate the big tech giants like this. We'll probably see Jack reappear in a few weeks with an apology. There's too much to lose on both sides.
Ill start looking when the reward is posted...
he'll come back, and have some BS excuse - but may also be more 'selective' with his views
