China has jailed billionaires for going against the communist party's doctrine and gaining power, not for any actual crimes.
Yes ... but they ARE jailed (or worse). And they all know the Party has shit on them and they still chose to rise. That's their game.... what's the western equivalent? Be born rich, cause literal chemical natural disasters by lobby work and shitty investment decisions and what happens?..... correct... In china they be ded...
Between a choice of "you will never be arrested for anything, ever, no matter how heinous" vs "You can be arrested at any time for any reason or no reason, at the whim of your government" I cannot say with confidence which of those is worse.
Well luckily the straw man you're assigning to China only exists in your head.
