Desmond Shum was warned not to publish in a surprise phone call from his ex-wife, “Whitney” Duan Weihong, who had been abducted by the Chinese government and had disappeared without a trace four years prior. It’s the book our recent guest Bill Browder — no stranger to attracting the ire of corrupt, authoritarian regimes — says is: “Powerful and disturbing…The Chinese government will not be happy with this book. Desmond Shum lifts the curtain behind the supposed Chinese economic miracle, portraying government leaders driven by corruption, conflict of interest, and greed. Rarely has anyone in modern China been brave enough to violate its oppressive code of silence and give an honest firsthand account of what really goes on in the corridors of power. Shum breaks all the rules so we can see it for ourselves and it’s not pretty.”
In this episode, Desmond joins us to share how he emerged from the shadow of his socially low-ranking parents to amass billions with the blessing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and why he decided to turn on the corrupt system that had rewarded him so richly. Here, we’ll learn just how far the Chinese government goes to enforce its will, and how far it’s willing to go to punish those who transgress against it. Listen, learn, and tremble in terror, peasants enjoy!
