The former chairman of a Chinese state-owned real estate company who publicly criticized President Xi Jinping’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic is sentenced to 18 years in prison in a corruption case, the government announces.

FILE - In this Nov. 12, 2010, file photo, Chinese real estate mogul Ren Zhiqiang speaks at a press reception for his book on China's property market in Shanghai. Ren, who publicly criticized President Xi Jinping’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic was sentenced to 18 years in prison on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2020, in a corruption case, the government announced.

Ren Zhiqiang, who became known for speaking up about censorship and other sensitive topics, disappeared from public view in March after publishing an essay online that accused Xi of mishandling the outbreak that began in December in the central city of Wuhan. The former chairman and deputy party secretary of Huayuan Group was expelled from the ruling party in July.

Ren didn’t mention Xi’s name but said, “standing there was not an emperor showing off his new clothes but a clown who had stripped off his clothes and insisted on being an emperor.”

KellerVjlk Coming to a state, county, university, & employer near you--if the radicals get their way!

How convenient.

Don’t tell djt or Stephen Miller

Yeah, but was he from an anarchist city?

He should have defected to the US. He should have seen that comming.

宮廷內鬥 結果和大眾無關 吃瓜的好

danielhoffmanDC It's a Communist country. You keep your mouth shut in a Communist country. I live in the USA, a Constitutional Republic. Until further notice, I will live free or die. Censorship is not acceptable by any means. Those mediums playing that role here should be treated as Corrupt.

Yeah it's impossible that he was sentenced for corruption AP And the rest of these corporate owned s*** news organisations Have to twist every last News story Why don't you a******* actually do your job And report on Julian assage

Julie28086389 Apparently, the anti-corruption campaign is huge in China. This guy embezzled close to 50 million RMB. Also involved in money laundering, corruption worth billions.

That is sickening to jail him for being the only Chinese that could tell Xi the truth about covid handling.

Now watch Trump start to praise Xi, again. Like he did in the beginning of the crisis in January/February '20.

中国混蛋

No speaking freedom in China

不过是杀鸡给猴看,也不知道猴子会被吓到,还是道高一尺魔高一丈了🐒

This could very well be in our future as well should the liberals take over America and force socialism and new world order. The major obstacle facing our corrupt government is the second amendment that was designed and written into the Constitution for just such occasions!

CCP will control you if you disobey

Trump will be so jealous

just a case CCP inside politician conflict. As a Chinese, I don’t care about the shit Xi or Ren. I just ask investigate CCPVirus . Wuhan P4 lab.

You know nothing you fake news. As a Chinese I know the fucker who he is. His name is Ren Zhiqiang and his most famous words are 'I won't build house for poor.' and 'I won't let the most people can afford the house.' He is a cold blooded capitalist and wanna be a eco-oligarch.

Not much coverage of the Julian Assange show trial in the UK I see from along with the majority of western Media.

Julian Assange, a journalist. Facing 175 years in jail because he expose US/western alliance war crimes. But of course hypocrisy is bursting in these comments.

This’s what Trump wishes to be doing here. Maybe to someone like Dr Fauci

Totally unrelated though.... Right?

This is China the country Democrats want to use their pattern in ruling America, if you speak against their leadership they send you to jail, Obama used FBI to do this to many that spoke out against him.

That figures

Coming soon to an American country near you when trump wins reelection. Already taking the steps to get there by trying to prosecute mayors in 'anarchist jurisdictions'.....

The situation happened in Ren is crazy. Putting in jail for 18 years just bcz criticising the CCP gov. However, word crime has become the new normal in many other places like HongKong. CCP is eroding the freedom of the world. FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong HumanRights

Hey MAGA, this is what is starting to happen in the US with Trump as president. He wants to lock up whoever speaks badly about him. Does that sound like a democracy to you?

.WHAT WAS HIS MAIN CRIME? CRITICISM OF ZINPING OR CORRUPTION?

Vote Vote Vote We can not give the corrupt GOP any more time to trample and erode our democracy. Biden2020 BidenHarris2020 BidenHarrisLandslide2020

FREE THE RED STATES OF AMERICA FROM THE SOCIALIST COMMUNIST DEMOCRAT PARTY AND THERE PROPAGANDA ARM. VOTE TRUMP AND REPUBLICAN for freedom like the blue states have they are good people lock away ,they are even freeing people in prison. Jobs not mobs

'corruption'

China is evil beyond comprehension

É logicco que o presidente Xi jinping iria fazer isso, é o que um ditador faz com quem o denúncia, prende ou manda matar,,, os seus dias estão contados presidente, Deus vai fazer justiça...

So sad.He's a brave man.

Wish did this to our CEOs

Trump's taking notes.

Because he lives in a socialism country controlled by the Communist Party, which is the American Democratic Party to pursue stubbornly now. Look at and listening what they yelled in America 👇

What else china Xi can do? Just shut the mouths of opposition leaders and hong Kong people’s freedom and put them in jail for speaking facts. This is not leadership, it’s dictatorship

2 minutes video no one should skip: Dr. Yan: the coronavirus was made in the lab to target human by the Chinese Communist Party!

Tells you all you need to know about the CCP and communist authoritarian governments.

Extradite to US!

Chairman Xi will be sentenced in the International Criminal Court at The Hague. UyghurGenocide SpokespersonCHN

Can both be true?

Shit, in Russia they just jump out windows

That is sad. And Trump's wet dream to jail dissenters.

China is moving on Taiwan and trump seems Willfully Ignorant. Go Figure 👈🤔.

Whatever happened to the Chinese Interpol chief that was kidnapped by China?

Coming to America soon if Trump wins again. And people like KerriKupecDOJ are enabling it.

thank you president xi

Well don’t let trump hear. Or rather BARR. Sick

When you do the math, the incompetent occupant of the White House has caused more than 20% of the world’s COVID-19 deaths. And he gives himself an A plus for his handling of the virus! Really?
