There are some hardcore pro-china people on lemmy. I made a joke about disappearing someone for re-education (like what happened to Jack Ma, co-founder of Ali-baba) and people downvoted shit out of it and said my American media is lying, idk what I'm talking about, etc etc.

I'm not saying the American media is a beacon of journalistic integrity or anything but it's telling they won't even admit these things happen in China.

    I just spent 5 minutes googling and didn’t find a single source that says Jack Ma was disappeared for re-education. Not even right-wing sources like Business Insider and Forbes.

    Never said it was trustworthy. Try not to be so disingenuous next time. Dude said there wasn't anything anywhere that said people get disappeared and it was literally the first thing that popped up. Tank harder ig

    Your reading comprehension skills need brushing up. I said I couldn’t find anything about Jack Ma being disappeared, which was your original claim. Or maybe you’re just trying to move the goalposts because you were proved incorrect.

    Now what? Go ahead, I'll wait. Since apparently your internet doesn't have access to the same info mine does. Anything else you want me to look up for you? Tienneman square 1989 maybe?

    AI output is not a source. Do your due diligence.

    Read my comment for once. You claimed you couldn't find a single thing to suggest this "re-education narrative" and it was literally the first thing that popped up. But I guess your Chinese internet isn't the same with your governments "great firewall".

    ...You spread a conspiracy theory not even supported by mainstream US outlets and people reacted badly?!

    Jack Ma was not 'disappeared.' He was, in fact, brought up on charges that were later dismissed due to his cooperation. This was public news. Because Jack Ma attempted to bribe members of the CPC in order to gain political support for his incredibly unpopular and stupid idea of lessening safety regulations to bring Chinese markets closer to the 'freedom' of the US market.

    His political movement failed, his bribery attempts were exposed, and unfortunately, he was not punished for them beyond having to issue an apology. Honestly it's a shame China didn't actually punish him like your conspiracy theory suggests, given the amount of damage he attempted to do to the Chinese economy and integrity of the People's congress.
