If you have a good memory, events which have passed will have an interesting interaction with events which are ongoing, which can make the same event evoke different feelings in you

Where is Jack Ma - when he kept low profile ('disappeared') after his overleveraged IPO were scuttled by authorities and tried to grab some polical power

Where is Jack Ma - when Elon Musk entered the WH and start purging

Where is Jack Ma - when he meet Xi in public as one of many entrepreneurs

Didn’t Jack Ma get disappeared for a few years after mildly criticizing the CCP? It’s bizarre to see Xi now publicly support him. It seems desperate - maybe the state of the Chinese economy is fragile after all?
