As CCP does more and more of this, rich Chinese will start feeling agitated about their government. If they only revolt and elect their own government where actions of thuggery are not ok, they will finally be free.

I know a lot of chinese don't care about the government but such actions of stealing wealth is literally how a lot of revolutionary democracies were formed.




Rich Chinese did already see the writing on the wall. They have been aggressively buying real-estate in western cities in the last few years.


Decades. Also passports. Wealthy Chinese are known to buy significant investor (which is not that significant) citizenship in several countries, not to move there but have an exit option.

Also to be fair I think a fair portion of this is not fear of China changing the rules, often if the wealth was gained corruptly this is a way to protect it and move away from repercussion.


Don't most extremely wealthy people around the world already do this? Look at all them who ran and hid in New Zealand within the past year.
