I thought Ma was arrested by the CCP AND IN A DUNGEON.

The real crime is what our FBI did to Guo here in the US. Even burned his apartment.

Alibaba is a good website. I used it when I lived in HK

I am surprised he was not chopped up into parts for re-sale on Alibaba.

There were rumors he had been seen in northwest China where the Uyghurs live.

Could he ever run China? Our issues with them would be over.

For such a smart guy he is pretty stupid. If you have billions you don’t want to be anywhere near the PRC. Money means nothing there.
