China's Executing One of Its Richest Men | China Uncensored [View all]



China Uncensored·Published on May 30, 2014

Why would China be executing one of its richest billionaires? Well, that's because he was also charged with murder, fraud, extortion, gun-running, illegal detention and running a 'mafia-like' gang. Liu Han is one serious bad dude, but that's not why he's being executed. He's been given a death sentence because he found himself on the wrong side in a battle for power within the Chinese Communist Party, one between Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and Liu Han's political patron Zhou Yongkang.


- So if you're scoring at home, that's another one. Boy, in China the don't throw you under the bus, they throw you ''in the bus.'' But one thing is perfectly clear, if you're planning a trip to China you'd better make sure you're getting on the right bus!
