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
Oh good, another billionaire businessman wants to be leader.
China be like: hold my baijiu
I remember Trump supporters saying that he'll be great because he's rich and so doesn't need more money from scams and corruption...
You don't get that rich without being deeply corrupt and deeply addicted to money
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.
