I mean, they're communists, of course they can do that. They can also send in hitmen and make the super-rich disappear. But damn, that's not a desirable situation!

Have they done that? Use a hitman to make a super rich person disappear?

Sometimes... Bao Fan (China Renaissance): The star investment banker and founder of China Renaissance disappeared without a trace in February 2023. It was later revealed that he was being held by authorities and was the subject of an investigation; he officially resigned from his position in 2024.

Jack Ma (Alibaba): After making critical comments about Chinese financial regulations in the fall of 2020, the Alibaba founder disappeared for months and largely avoided the public eye before later being seen abroad and occasionally back in China.

Xiao Jianhua (Tomorrow Group): The Canadian-Chinese billionaire was kidnapped from a Hong Kong hotel in 2017 and taken to mainland China. In 2022, he was sentenced to several years in prison for corruption and fraud.

Ren Zhiqiang (Huayuan Real Estate): The prominent real estate entrepreneur and party member disappeared in March 2020 after sharply criticizing President Xi Jinping. He was later sentenced to 18 years in prison.

Guo Guangchang (Fosun International): The head of the conglomerate Fosun was unexpectedly unreachable for a few days in December 2015, causing unrest on the stock markets, before he reappeared at a company event (he was helping the authorities with investigations).

Meng Hongwei (Interpol / Public Security): Although not a company CEO, his case was similar in 2018 – the then Interpol president and Chinese vice security minister disappeared while traveling home to China and was later convicted of bribery.

ok, so a combination of people who were arrested and charged and people who were lying low for their own reasons. What about the hitman thing? Has that ever happened?

Wait, let me google it for you..

Weird, Googling shows no evidence that has ever happened. Are you making stuff up to scare yourself?

You think a country that has executed roughly 80,000 to 100,000 people since 2000 [Amnesty stopped reporting own figures in 2009 cause CN base data was too understated], over 2,000 execution for economic crimes alone, you think this country couldn't make someone disappear or be killed?
