Although i think it will reflect poorly on CCP to secretly make Jack go missing, who is actually a world famous personality at this point. One should also remember that anything is possible in a totalitarian regime.

Making a man like Jack Ma disappear and possibly dead sends a message that no matter how rich and famous you are, don't fuck with the CCP. That's how it will reflect. Poorly, and fearsomely.

Will it though?

You live in the time where there's massive outrage for one week, but the next week that's the subject of the past that lost hype and momentum so it's forgotten.

I think the CCP knows this, hell even political leaders of the free world know this - no one resigns due to scandals anymore. They just sit tight, don't acknowledge it, and it blows over.

That is true, but Jack isnt any ordinary Billionaire, this would affect Chinese businesses.

Didn't stop Putin from stomping Khodorkovsky. Who worries or thinks about him (khodorkovsky) now? Meanwhile Putin is still there, more powerful than ever.
