So what do you speculate happened to Jack Ma?
You think he's in the Chinese Gulag drying out for a while with some educational TV?

Half of this forum is ccp shills (awaiting their appearance in this thread). You won't get a good discussion here.
The other half are China haters so that's why there won't be a good discussion.
CCP SHILL DETECTED
What is there to not hate about China? The country is fundamentally opposed to everything the free world stands for (except the radical left, but they are essentially the same group, like the Nazis, so it makes sense)
Extreme gun control
No freedom of speech
No freedom of religion
Forced population control
A long history of people being "disappeared"
Prevents citizens from seeing part of the outside world including Chinese criticism
Public monitoring system/surveillance state which puts the rest of the world to shame (this isn't easy)
Their culture of eating cats and dogs (which should be punishable by death, but what do I know)
For anyone unfamiliar with the Bill of Rights, China breaks all of the rules and gives its people no protections. Their government gives itself the right to quarter, the of unreasonable search and seizure, the right to jail without cause or proof, the right to a proper trial, and the right to give out excessive and cruel/unusual punishments.
Who the fuck in the Western world WOULDN'T want to be against China? Except for 95% of our government officials on their payroll, of course. Imagine sitting in the freest country in the world, sipping your Starbucks latte, and typing into your MacBook that China isn't an authoritarian shithole that the US should be attempting to beat the shit out of.

@ dude shitting on China. Do not act like the U.S. isn't the only country in the world whose economy upon inception was based upon slavery. Laugh my fucking ass off.
Who was on "U.S." soil prior to y'all coming over and "taking over?" So i take it the native americans didn't just "disappear"
No wonder the U.S. ranks shitty in world wide education. You guys can barely even recall your own 250 year history.
WSO reminds me more and more of ifunny
Just when you're about to post your comment, a guy walks in with an AK.
Point being, nobody lives in a perfect nation, and there's no point to hate on others that are different from what you are used to - it just shows your insecurity.
Not to defend China but:
1) Us gun rights are bs - everyone one and their grandma can get an AR-15 these days it seems. Probably why there are so many schools shooting's every year.
2) The world doesn't need more babies so that's fine.
3) If you think Western Intelligence Agencies haven't been tracking you from the moment you were born and know every link that you've ever clicked you're deluded my dude.
All other points I agree with.
Love "gun control" is first on your list
You're damn fucking right I hate China.
There's an incredible billionaire turnover in China because they all end up jailed by CCP.
somewhere a billionaire should not be. thank god I don't live in that communist shithole
Thank God we're in the corona shithole instead
Oh wait covid isn't real am I right?
Cringe. Blame China for lying and letting the virus get out of hand. The virus is so deadly you have to get tested to know if you have it. The virus has magically reduced the deaths by flu/old age in the U.S by 90%.
Lmao in what shit country did covid originate in, genius?
Well his company is a huge accounting fraud so there is that.
could you elaborate please
The ANT group is a financial services company but he wants to list it as a tech company on the stock exchange for a higher valuation and better tax treatment.
Not to mention, Jack Ma advocated for the so called 996, which is 9am to 9pm work hours 6 days a week. Fuck him.
Also fuck Xi for detaining him,
He’s in the timeout chair
Once again Wall Street sells it soul to China.
Do anything for a dollar even though most Wall Street executives already have multiple vacation homes, cars and access to the best education & healthcare.
Does the CCP pay some of you guys a commission for each time you post Communist propaganda?
You get paid? Can you hook me up?
Can always count on WSO's chief China hater to show up here. How much you get paid?
Kid despises Wall Street, yet comes to the Wall Street Oasis to shit post.
Kid stands for the common people, yet whines about China for trying to break up big banks.
How versatile!
You are quoting China Uncensored lol. Do you also have a subscription for Epoch Times? Do you happen to practice Falun Dafa?
China Uncensored? FLG affiliated media just like Epoch Times. These are the same fellas who thought storming the capitol when congress was in session was a good idea.
I think he is in your moms bedroom
Can we rangeban from WSO Chinese IP addresses already?
So much for freedom of speech! Prospect.
Constitutional rights do not apply to foreign agents.
Probably gulag possibly dead.
You’ll know he’s dead when the government gives some bullshit reason for his disappearance like those two altdata founders in Beijing who left to assist the CCP in an investigation three years ago and haven’t been seen since.
Or will be imprisoned on “corruption” charges which is like giving out speeding tickets at the Indy 500 in China.
The sensitivity levels of Chinese CCP defenders is off the charts. Like if you think SJWs or Trump supporters can’t take criticism just take a look at these people.
You would think they’d look at Jack Ma as a success story but instead they are terrified of making a criticism against the party, and even want to prevent other people from doing the same.
Imagine denying there’s anything fishy here. Then saying “oh well he knew the rules anyway”. Finally ending up at “it’s ok because other countries also did bad things”.
But then again these are the same people who let the party dictate how many children they could have without doing anything about it so maybe they like being humiliated.
My MBA bro, not surprised to see you here again. No one is defending anything. It's more like people throwing random insults at China (and its culture, not just the government) and some "CCP shills" fighting back. Just look at the first reply.
If you would stay on topic and ask if it's ok to illegally detain some billionaire, no shill would show up and say he deserves it.
Also hilarious how you insult the Chinese people with the one child policy and at the same time bitch about China taking away your jobs. Guess what, if it weren't for the one child policy, there would be more cheap labor out there.
Haha now I’ve got you defending one child policy. This is hilarious. You’re like a robot for the CCP yet hiding out in the west.
Why would I care about what happens to some lunatic Chinese oligarch? Guy probably dipped out to Dubai or he's already been dismembered by Chinese secret police. Either way I don't care.
I wish some of our billionaires would go missing though. I wonder how Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Bezos would fare in a CIA blacksite.
Democrats: I like their people but I hate their government.
Republicans: Fuck bat eaters!
wtf i love both parties now
Intern be like "war crimes are so cool, I'm so edgy HAHA"
Peanut head wentt on a 4 month bender in Macau
It’s a shame the CCP is the way it is because in my experience the Chinese are fundamentally decent, hardworking people. A lot of them attended at my high school as international students and quite surprisingly, sometimes I got along with them better than I got along with other American students.
Here’s one thing I will say about these Chinese internationals though: they all support the CCP. They’re not doing it out of fear because they’re in the United States and Big Brother Xi isn’t watching them, so I think their sentiment is sincere. One of them unironicaly told me that authoritarianism is a better form of government than democracy. Another student told me that most Chinese people don’t care about authoritarianism because their lives are not only going well but improving.Whenever I mention the atrocities committed by the CCP, they respond with the same bullshit spewed on this forum by the CCP shills. “Well America is not any better. Police brutality, racism, Native American genocide..” blah blah blah as if China doesn’t have a worse version of all of these things. It seems from my understanding that as 1) China rose as a superpower and 2) the CCP spread more propaganda, the Chinese became a very nationalistic, “patriotic” people who are willing to overlook or even justify anything done by the government. It seems to me they are not even being suppressed at this point. The CCP has their unquestioning support starting from their youth. Meanwhile, in the United States (a flawed but fundamentally good and free country) our own citizens are becoming America-hating pricks like the person who posted the orange “controversial” comment on this thread. It’s very, very scary. I would not be surprised if China ultimately surpasses the United States in this century.
We are all human beings. There is really not that much fundamental difference. When I (a Chinese) was active on this site several years ago, I never encountered a China thread that turned into a shit show. People debated civilly and reasonably. When I came back on here post-COVID, every single China thread turns into a god damn zoo.
I think there are several reasons for this:
1. Anti-China rhetoric has been up recently, i.e., Trump trade war, COVID, etc.
2. Xi is more dictatorial and aggressive than past Chinese presidents.
3. Chinese economy is large enough now that some Chinese people are complacent and some Americans are "threatened", for lack of appropriate words.
4. Demographic of this site is trending younger, so more combative.
"China is such an awesome country. Stop hating on it!" - says a bunch of trolls simultaneously trying to break into US investment banking on this forum....
Lmao exactly. I say this every time the Chinese international students talk shit about America. Why the fuck did you come here then?
Well, if they just told you "industrial espionage", it would give the game away wouldn't it? Joking of course but had to say it.
This would actually be a good interview question. Just like a bank will ask, "Why JPM or why BAML?" maybe a new question should be, "Why the US?" Fair question if someone wants to work halfway around the world. Would like to know the reason why.
Just like US companies that would want to invest their last penny into China voluntarily, even though they know that China is the biggest adversary of the US?
Lots of crazy comments on here-- I def think he is gonna get clapped by Nickmercs in the gulag tho
Get him the DMR
Two shot to the dome!
Getting waterboarded :)
I remember the good old days of Wall Street where we were the true Alphas like when JP Morgan bailed out the US Government in 1895 and saved the US economy; and the Jordan Belfort Wolf of Wall Street era where the office was filled with chads and Alpha males.
Nowadays, the US went from the world's largest debtor nation to the world's largest creditor nation; and needed to be bailed out in 2008.
That is what happens when you hire SJW's and low testosterone ED beta males who simp for China and Social Justice causes.
If it wasn't for the west, the people of China would still be living in tents and using campfires while dancing to tribal songs.
Historically FALSE. East Asian civilizations were the center of the world up until the 1500s. They were still competing head to head with the West up until the Industrial Revolution.
Up until the 1700s, the West was getting its ass kicked by the Ottoman Empire.
>Up until the 1700s, the West was getting its ass kicked by the Ottoman Empire.
Yeah.. let's just ignore the Portuguese, Spanish, French and Dutch empires... which put the Ottoman Empire to shame btw.
Battle of Lepanto is in 1571 but okay. You guys all need to chill. You are all wrong.
You are pathetic kid. At least try to be funny.
WTF where did the original post I replied to go? WSO you need to hire some Chinese IT person who can do the job man.
Found the easily triggered Chinese guy here.
Thank you for all the comments on here from everyone on all sides of the issue! Isn't it great to live in a country where you can talk about the biggest failures of the US or China throughout history and not be taken to jail for doing so?
Kind of speak volumes on who is on the right side of history.....
Well said.
I genuinely considered eating popcorn while scrolling through this entertainment. Classy as always WSO.
Jack Ma was CCP'd
China last fought a war in 1979 while the US killed at least 1 million in Vietnam alone, and that for no reason at all. Furthermore, Americans (and other westerners) don´t seem to grasp the amount of American/Western Propaganda that they are subjugated to as well. China is going to be the next super power, whereas the trajectory of the US seems to be in a steady decline, whether you like it or not.
In hindsight, the Vietnamese gov't has ended up with very good relations with the United States, but at the time, the U.S. was allied with South Vietnam, which was invaded by the the Vietcong with the support of Communist China (which had just murdered 45 million of its own people) and the Soviet Union, which had murdered tens of millions more. Vietnam was just as likely to end up like North Korea (a nation-sized prison camp hellscape with nuclear weapons) as it was to end up the way it is today (a generally friendly ally of the United States). To say there was "no reason" for America's involvement is a pretty bastardized version of history.
LOL what? South Vietnam, supported by the US, lost to North Vietnam supported by China and Soviet Union. Vietnam became a unified country unlike Korea.
Vietnam's relationship with the US only got better after China's relationship with the US got better. Vietnam basically took China's steps in the 1980s economic reform, and became friends with the leader of capitalism (hats off to USA).
Had the US not participated in the Vietnam War, the result would be the same: Vietnam is unified by the North and did whatever it needed to grow.
North Korea is a different story. If the Communist alliance (China, Soviet, North Korea) had beaten the South (USA, South Korea, the West) like in Vietnam, would Korea be like Vietnam today? We don't know. But what if Vietnam was like Korea? What if the US didn't lose and Vietnam was divided like Korea? I assume it would be worse than what it is today.
Just like with the Japanese.... on which the US literally dropped the only nuclear bombs in history. Must be American exceptionalism.
The real question is: which American enterpreur will suffer the same under Kamala?
my bad, i meant Jack went for a meeting on Dec 27
I'm working on a business presently that would require entering the Chinese market in order to be truly successful (since the market is just so damned large). I think I'd be willing to operate in China, but there is no way I'd step foot inside of its borders at this point. So long as my surrogates are there doing the job that's ok. But the risk of being "disappeared" by the Chinese gov't is not one I'm willing to take.
be sure to erase your comment history unless you want to be disappeared
LOL this guy pretends he is some big shot that the Chinese government actually cares about him. You are just a random fat white boy son.
The CCP has murdered a lot of people far less important and less wealthy than me.
