        The Democracy Tycoon got 5 years and 9 months in prison on fraud charges. Pretty light with all his things considered.

          Which, how is that a human rights abuse or wrongful jail sentence even by Western standards? Like, they love crying foul on China’s crackdown on anticommunist propaganda and whatever but fraud is illegal everywhere including the West.

    China’s bourgeoisie has had 70 years to integrate into society and let go of its habits of feeling above the law thanks to who they know. They didn’t, and their trial period is coming to an end now
