Meanwhile in China... Xi Jinping is over here disappearing billionaires. Worrying to say the least. If they feel confident enough to get rid of Jack Ma, the richest person in China at the time, then you know quietly removing ordinary folks is just business as usual.

In the brave new #China of #XiJinping, you go missing when *assisting authorities in an ongoing investigation*.
Nothing to see here, please proceed, all is very fine - with Chinese characteristics, that is... #BaoFan #humanrights

Remember when artist #AiWeiwei went missing for 80 days, held incommunicado in a secret police detention centre and deprived of sleep and privacy? I guess that's where Bao Fan is staying right now as well.

In #Putin's Sovjet #Russia, oligarchs fall to their death from windows or commit suicide by shooting themselves... three times, in the back of their head.

Since I value #humanrights and #civicrights I prefer to steer clear of both dictatorships. Thank you very much.
