"Chinese billionaire
Jack Ma has not made any public appearance in the past several weeks since he criticised
China’s state financial system and advocated reforms, leading to speculations about his whereabouts in the media.
Mr Ma, who is the founder of e-commerce platform,
Alibaba, has not tweeted anything for nearly three months now, since his last post on 10 October last year.

He recently failed to appear in the final episode of ‘Africa’s Business Heroes,’ a talent show of the Jack Ma Foundation in which 10 emerging African entrepreneurs are given a shared $1.5m (£1.09m) grant for pursuing their ideas.
The Chinese billionaire was replaced as a judge in the final episode of the show by Alibaba’s co-founder Lucy Peng and his picture was also removed from the judging webpage, reported
The Financial Times."
Wow just wow.
If the richest man in China can disappear for months without a formal detention or arrest order, what rights does the common man in China enjoy ?
Rule of law ?
Due process ?
All the riches in China can't help him , as he criticized the country's banks and is promptly a persona non grata.
In India if a stray dog bites you , you can't even put him down. He is detained by the municipal department and is released in the same spot after being neutered.
Chinese have even lesser rights than a Indian stray dog.
