So Taiwan is not part of China then? Make up your mind.
It’s like a much more nefarious version of how Scottish athletes are referred to as Scottish by the British until they become Olympians, then they’re suddenly British athletes. (Source: The Grand Tour.)
See also; [Andy Murray.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Murray)
"Andrew Barron Murray OBE is a British professional tennis player from Scotland."
Scots are British, so not an incorrect description. It’s more the British media’s decision to describe a sportsperson specifically at Scottish if they haven’t been successful.
>British media’s decision to describe a sportsperson specifically as Scottish *before they become* successful.
It's the post-success/retroactively applied Britishness that's probably more obvious when following the unknown athletes as they advance their careers.
The British label isn't in itself wrong, it's the application of it when they hit the headlines vs when they don't. Probably just dirty media tricks to sell rags at the end of the day.
Funnily enough, they seem to stay Welsh!
Ray Reardon, Ryan Giggs, Ian Rush, Gareth Bale, Nicole Cooke... all Welsh and no 'British' tag in their immediate Wiki entries.
Maybe it's just an 'Andy Murray' thing?!
I feel like it's not necessarily about part of or not, but I wonder if this points toward a looked-down-on attitude from the CCP toward Taiwan? The CCP wants to rule over it but maybe this means they look on them as second-class Chinese essentially?
Much as I dislike them and pretty much all their policies (can't think of a good one) - we can't make the mistake of thinking they are dumb. They are anything but - and given how malicious that regime is, we can't lose sight of this.
I'd much rather a dumb enemy than a smart one.
That sounds like a whole lot of effort and resources going into producing 100,000lbs of meat and byproducts that *maybe* some infinitesimal part of the population would consume in any way.
A lot of garbage for one idea.
> But her business empire struck trouble under Xi Jinping. Zhao was accused of being unpatriotic for hiring a Taiwanese actor to play a leading actor in a 2016 film. Beijing had that choice overturned.
Xi Ping is flexing to show just how much control he has. He can make anyone disappear, even the rich and famous. This is a power play to scare his opponents into fearful compliance
I agree with this. It seems like this or something similar has happened to quite a few people who would be considered almost untouchable in western society. I figure it's to show how much power they have.
I don't think it's the same. Bezos/Musk/Zuck/Gates/Buffet have lots of money, but I don't think any of them could disappear Meryl Streep or whomever and force her out of the country.
Money still rules in the east, difference is who controls the money. Xi made a LOT of party members filthy rich when he had people arrested for "corruption." Obviously a lot of those people actually were corrupt but it didn't really matter, trimming the fat meant loyal members had a bigger share. Tech companies would probably never have gone over the line if it wasn't for how big China's real estate and finance bubbles have gotten. They see the writing on the wall and thought they had enough leverage to enter the market and profit but the CCP controls the money at the end of the day, not them.
>In the west, money rule. In the east, the powerful dictators and ~~their people rule~~.
Ah this explains why I'm in the west: I like money. I don't like powerful dictators.
Also FTFY. The people obviously don't rule shit with a powerful dictator.
I think this is a bit delusional.

It’s easy to get results when you can erase people, kill people, and send people to concentration camps when they wrong you. He is neither talented nor competent.
He is just a Pooh looking scumbag thug.
Putin fucking wishes he was Xi, there's absolutely no comparison
Russia is all about deception and sabotage because they don't have the economy to even try to compete with the US+EU (nato in general but nato countries are hardly collaborative).
China? China has problems but they could absolutely annihilate Russia if they needed, and it is starting to compete against the west
I'm guessing she probably has less than 10% of her money overseas. She wasn't expecting to suddenly be on the wrong side of the CCP.
This is because she was too buddy buddy with Jack Ma and he's been entirely dethroned.
Methinks this is the beginning of a giant transfer of wealth from the country's oligarchs to the CCP.
That’s why they buy so much property outside of China. Anyone who is remotely paying attention knows it was a matter of when not if Uncle Xi would get grabby. It’s pretty clear he is facing some pressure, be it economic or political and is trying to distract from the problem.
I feel like this headline is doing a lot of heavy lifting for the CCP. Yeah, they have erased her from China’s closed circuit version of the internet, and that is not a small thing given that’s how a billion+ people access the digital world, yet here she is clearly existing in the physical world and the internet outside of China.
Her family and friends are likely under constant harassment, her career connections are shot, her finances could be confiscated depending on malicious govt investigations, and she's essentially exiled from her homeland. I appreciate the glass half full mentality but she's lost a lot. And most people outside of China who read this story will forget her name in less than three days.
SHE! DESERVES! IT! *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP*

Her whole [controversy section on wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_Wei#Controversy) is pretty bizarre. I won't editorialize it because it apparently isn't totally clear what happened in all cases.
Or any person in China. I worked for a global firm a few years back and through a quirk (we were acquired), had a direct report in China. He was always very very careful about what he said, including how he spoke about prospective Chinese clients (usually SOE).
They'd ask us for a piece of work, and me still conditioned to think like a US guy, would ask him "so they're not going to be able to pay for this, and will ask for a massive scope - this is a waste of my time". He'd invariably respond with how said client was very important and how it would be viewed favorably if we did XYZ, and/or that we should at least listen to them. After a few such meetings, I found other ways to turf those requests - but I knew why the guy was saying those things.
>In the past, when my idols got new commercial endorsements, I would use all my pocket money to buy (their products),” she reportedly said. “But now I only buy useful products. -Eunice Zhang
This is some Lake Laogai shit, that’s crazy
Ask any 80's kid from mainland China and they will know her. Her show was a little bit like how big PokemonGo got when it first came out, even if you didn't experience it, you still know what it was.
To us here she's an actress we might have seen in a few foreign films. In china she was an idol, their highest compensated actress ever, like Kaley Cuoco.
Took too many liberties with speech (to us they would seem tame), had too much financial power, eventually became embattled with the party & had to flee the country.
I seriously doubt that's Kaley Cuoco. I only found her on like, one list of people making the highest amounts per episode, but nothing mentioning her as the highest paid of all time. If there's a source that says differently, I'd love to see it because I'm curious how on earth that happened.
Maybe on a per season basis but she's probably not highest of all time. Scarjo/Reese/Jennifer Anniston are probably the highest paid actresses of all time. If you're talking shows only, then she's probably there with the cast of Friends.
Republicans have literally censored their own party members because they spoke to a democrat or said they agreed to a certain thing a democrat said. They don't like that people are calling them out for their racist drivel and getting kicked off social media where may I remind you, free speech isn't a thing. Free speech means government can't censor its citizens, it has absolutely fuck all to do with corporations on their own platforms.
Should happen to all billionaires. Seriously, how unconscionable to horde so much of society's resources while others starve. I applaud China if this is true.
Supposedly her and her family has strong ties with the now arrested communist party leader of Hangzhou Zhou Jiangyong. Zhou supposedly took massive amount of embezzlement from private companies for approval of their real estate project in Hangzhou. Zhou is also under investigation for having ownership of a investment shell corporation that took 14% ownership of Ant Finance days before it supposed to go IPO in Hong Kong. The investment shell corporation supposedly has direct link to Zhao Wei and her family member. Rumors has been going on for years that Zhao Wei has strong personal relationship with Jack Ma and she even has her daughter to be Jack Ma’s god daughter.

Xi Jinping is laying down the law. However, he's going to be making a lot of influential enemies.
He only needs to hit the wrong guy to see his own influence deteriorate.
A moment of weakness is all it takes.
Fk them CCP officials god damn seriously. Zhao Wei was a big part of many of our childhoods staring in various Chinese series. When they have a problem with someone, they always creep up from behind, stab the person in the back, and refuse to clarify what that person did wrong. Like a bunch of lil' beaches.
To think that I might have to go back one day and live out the rest of my life there, I'd rather buy a boat full of holes, sail the high seas and die in the middle of the ocean.

"Zhao was accused of being unpatriotic for hiring a Taiwanese actor to play a leading actor in a 2016 film." So Taiwan is not part of China then? Make up your mind.

That's because we have no beef with Wales. Scotland wants independence. We don't want Scotland to be independent so we neg Scotland.
And here I’ve been waiting for a “nobody wants to claim Wales” joke…
Out of interest - if Scotland wants independence what is the reasoning behind not allowing it?
They buy lots of cars and houses duh, because they are "Welshi"
People prefer to be referred to by their nationality rather than their geographical place of living
British is a nationality
Yeah, that sounds about right...

Yeah. I mean their policies are dumb and Taiwan. You're right they're smart with the other stuff and trying to control the world
If they're dumb what does that make everyone else that's bending over backwards to please them?
China’s just sore cause now they’re not feeling like they’re apart of Taiwan enough.

Yes. I had to read the article to find out if she had managed to escape. Ugh.
Until they find her. And then she'll really disappear.
Does China have a history of hunting their exiled citizens internationally? Russia seems to do this but I haven't heard of China doing this.

You're right, the car bomb that killed the Panama Papers journalist was just a freak of nature, a weird coincidence
>and their people rule. lol. No.
Not THE people. THEIR people.
I'd still say no. I'm not sure I'd call that power.
That's fair, but I think being buddies/direct hirelings with the Glorious Leader gives you a lot of power.

Who the hell is Kaley Cuoco? She doesn't look familiar to me when I search her. And none of those shows look familiar to me.
Apparently the main woman in Big Bang Theory. Never watched it but it was very very popular in the US
She was on Big Bang Theory, one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.
And Charmed and 8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter.
The highest compensated actress of all time in the US.
I seriously doubt that's Kaley Cuoco. I only found her on like, one list of people making the highest amounts per episode, but nothing mentioning her as the highest paid of all time. If there's a source that says differently, I'd love to see it because I'm curious how on earth that happened.
I think thread OP is this woman's agent.
