    Yes i remember reading about that, but what are the chances that almost half of all very rich people get murdered or die from diseases? Those should be easy to prevent with enough money.

      Yeah its def a possibility that a few who refuse to cooperate with the CPC are getting assassinated, or “extra-legal” means are being used. It only takes a few cases of that to instill enough fear in the super rich to make them not want to go against the CPC. Obviously nothing anyone needs to lose any sleep over.

        Doubt. China isnt like the United States, they dont solve problems with violence if that can be avoided.

          Mao once gave a speech in Russia promising that China is prepared to “sacrifice” half its population to keep the revolution going. While I am certain they have become more refined today, but the notion that Chinese government is above using violence to keep its internal affairs in order has never entered my mind.
