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
Why would Beijing threaten him, they own him.
Also, Jack Ma proved no billionaire is too rich for China to touch
Jack Ma being a Chinese national sure didn’t help him avoid persecution.
China be like: hold my baijiu
Oh good, another billionaire businessman wants to be leader.
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.
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
Like as if US and Taiwan business links wasn’t going to be used to hurt China if a war comes. They are already being used to contain china. Why is this fart even suggesting that he can make a difference.
