I agree... his ideas and works contravene the biggest rule in Chinese society-disturbing social harmony. He would have been arrested on corruption charges and chucked into a cell the minute his ideas gained any traction. 

Any thing not coming from the state (thus, the CCP, state = CCP here), any grassroots initiative is perceived as a grave threat. A guy explaining how the great industry barons exploit the average worker, late 19th century style ? Harmony disrupter, go play with your jailed friends who ask for rule of law or just accountability. All within the state, nothing outside of the state.

+1 for gaoled.

Assumption is the mother of all f-ups ..... Why Assume Karl when there are also Chico, Harpo, and Groucho

Anyway, Agree with DrM that fighting for the little man is a no go in China. Roundhouse kicking the little man in the groin is more how things should be. 

I think only Groucho would end up in jail. He had a big mouth. Harpo would be a successful businessman because he's retarded enough to fit in well with those sorts of people in China.
