Not long after billionaire George Soros forecast a so-called hard landing for the Chinese economy, Beijing fired back by calling out the high-profile investor, warning him of betting against its currency, according to media reports Tuesday.

Hey China. It’s OK...you can send someone to kill him if you want. Really. It’s OK...The world will thank you.
TAKE HIM OUT!!!!!!
Maybe the ChiComs will “reach out and touch” George!
Please pass the popcorn!
Gonna need a lot of popcorn on this one.
Someone take that SOB with a .50 cal please. Can’t think of any one individual who has caused more trouble with entire economies and sovereignty of entire nations than hat one evil demon. There can only be one reason he is allowed to live and it has to be $$$$$ in the hands of corrupt politicians. No other answer makes sense.

China’s Plunge Protection Team is well-armed.
Not I. Im voting for China.

I agree. This guy’s hands appear to have seen a whole lot of dirty work, including many deaths. I won’t miss him one bit.
Wouldn’t it be a shame if something happened to that degenerate.
If we took our business away from China, the Pacific theater would be better overnight.
Isn’t he a wanted man in Thailand? Thailand! I f someone could hijack his plane and land in Thailand (Thailand!) he could spend his final days in a Thai prison! That would be cool with me!
The only way to hurt the yuan is to INCREASE its value. That’s the opposite of baby Satan’s business model.
How do you short a currency that is already highly undervalued?
i’d eat a ham sandwich if I had some ham
Why a .50? Leaves a mess. A .22 will do the job nicely in the hands of a good sniper or assassin.......even better with a silencer.....
Can we get both? No Soros and that?
It would work for me, anyways. ;)
What’s to prevent the Chinese from just eliminating the threat ?
