Yet another one of China's elite has disappeared after criticizing Xi Jinping

If you think the Chinese economy is bad now, wait 15 years. No amount of sending economists to the gulag will hide this disaster.

Edit: tankie downvotes are like nectar of the gods to me. Your precious CCP will wither like a plant in the desert.

Lol he does look like that fucking bear

Wait but Hexbear said that China is a democracy? Did they lie?!??

I already see tankies making up some of the most delusional excuses youve ever heard.

Oh bother!

Wow, what a useful state-sponsored think tank.

I'm sure everyone else who works there will make sure to be completely honest with their findings going forward, regardless of how it might make the Party look.

Things are afoot in the Hundred Acre Wood.

Idk why he assumed the private chat was actually private and not fully monitored.

Oh, do they fall out of windows in China too?

Where do people think the honey used to feed Xinnie Jinping comes from?

Xi is just a walking talking crying infant with an ego that can barely fit in mainland China.

Free West Taiwan! Hopefully, the CCP built dump will implode.

Guess Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey was closer to the real story than the originals by Milne..

Truly no emperor has ever worn such fine clothes as our beloved Xi. This will absolutely never backfire on them

Omg he really does look like Winnie the pooh

Hmm, strange? How could that have happened? 🤷‍♂️

Not the billionaires I love those guys!

Criticizing Xi in a WeChat group is Jack Ma levels of smart.

Western media talking about "disappearances" is always the funniest thing to me. If somebody just goes like a week without appearing on TV, they can say they "disappeared," and the audience will immediately assume that they're in some black site with a bag over their head. If they show up the next week and tell everyone they're fine, then they have plausible deniability since they never actually said anything bad happened to them. Of course, then you've got your audience primed to believe that something's up and can write another headline like, "Questions remain regarding the disappearance of so-and-so." Once you get a name trending, it doesn't matter what the facts are.

I remember coming under fire from an irl friend over the "disappearance" of tennis player Peng Shuai... until she reappeared, and the International Olympic Committee confirmed that she was perfectly fine. The only evidence that anything bad had happened to her was the lack of a public appearance, but then, after making public appearances, the story didn't die, instead each new appearance simply gave the media more to talk about, keeping it in the public consciousness and always insisting that "questions remain."

Of course, that's not even mentioning all the times the media doesn't just claim a "disappearance" but just outright lies about these things. If Business Insider can't even muster up a "detained," it's pretty safe to assume it doesn't mean anything. And of course, if someone says anything critical of the government, then they are immediately absolved of any and all suspicion of having committed actual crimes - absolutely zero investigation into the charges of corruption is needed for everyone to conclude with 100% certainty that they're trumped up.

I can't wait to see how many downvotes I can get lmao.
