In this New York Times article we see the story of several employees that have been stranded in china and haven’t been allowed to leave since their billionaire boss disappeared. Xiao Jianhua was abducted by the police from his apartment at the four seasons hotel. He is believed to have been taken back to the mainland. When one of his employees attempted to leave country soon after, he was detained at the airport pending investigation of his bosses dealings. Mr. Xiao has apparently been abducted due to the fact that he has as much power as he has and 5 of the 7 members of the Politburo Standing Committee are up for election. This just goes to show that not even the economic elite, one of the wealthiest men in the country, isnt safe from the CCCP.
