Jack Ma being a Chinese national sure didn't help him avoid persecution.
He’ll be a moustache for Xi - he talks bluster, but his financial ties to China cut both ways.
I mean, let’s be real - NO ONE comes out like that unless they’re a puppet
China be like: hold my baijiu
Oh good, another billionaire businessman wants to be leader.
Pretty fucking anaemic that that’s the reason he can’t be threatened. Like, it’s not his unassailable logic or track record of humanitarian endeavours or some shit. It’s money. Just money.
I'd think it was easier to threaten someone with a humanitarian streak - you know, since it's clear they care about other people.
Like as if US and Taiwan business links wasn't going to be used to hurt China if a war comes. They are already being used to contain china. Why is this fart even suggesting that he can make a difference.
Aren't we missing an entire Buddhist Lama
