For all of China’s efforts to carry on the Winter Games with a festive spirit, Beijing 2022 unfolded as a joyless spectacle: constricted by a global health disaster, fraught with geopolitical tensions, tainted once again by accusations of doping and overshadowed by the crisis in Ukraine.

As athletes marched into the Bird’s Nest stadium in Beijing on Sunday night to close the most contentious Olympics in years, China could celebrate pulling off the Games on schedule, despite everything. It is a success, however, as measured by the low bar of avoiding total disaster.

The most indelible memory of these Winter Olympics — beside images of Olympic workers and volunteers enrobed in hazmat gear — will very likely be that of a 15-year-old Russian skater falling on the ice after being allowed to compete despite a test showing traces of a banned heart medicine.

The skater, Kamila Valieva, broke into tears after her dismal performance, only to be berated by her coach, leaving organizers and observers alike to ponder how much they demand of athletes who are, after all, still children.

The International Olympic Committee, which spent years fending off doubts about choosing an authoritarian nation as host, spent much of the past two weeks dodging controversy after controversy in Beijing.

In addition to troubling issues raised by the Valieva episode, it faced questions about the conditions for athletes who isolated after testing positive for Covid; about the fate of Peng Shuai, the tennis player and former Olympian who accused a senior Chinese official of sexual assault; about the inevitable injection of politics into an event meant to rise above them.

“What can one say, except to heave a sigh,” said Orville Schell, the director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York. “Such an august occasion, designed to promote openness, good sportsmanship and transnational solidarity, ended up being a heavily policed, brittle, Potemkin-like simulacrum of the Olympic ideal.”

WTA Tour set to return to China in 2023 following suspension over Peng Shuai situation | CNN

CNN  —  The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) announced Tuesday that it will return to hosting tournaments in China in 2023 after previously suspending all events in the country, including Hong Kong, last November due to the uncertainty over tennis player Peng Shuai’s safety. Peng was feared to be held incommunicado by the Chinese government after she accused retired Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of…

BURBANK, CA - At the entertainment giant's world headquarters, Disney Imagineers showed off new technology that uses artificial intelligence to scan the more than 700 episodes of "The Simpsons" and replace Bart Simpson's probably-offensive catchphrase "Cowabunga!" with the much less problematic and more profitable catchphrase "Taiwan is not a sovereign state, dude!"

Sam Carter, Disney's Executive Vice President of Tyrant Placation, gushed over the technological achievement. "This new AI process is truly a great leap forward," said Carter. "It allows us to instantly scan hundreds of hours of audio for Bart's previous catchphrase, which is probably very offensive. We haven't really looked into why it's offensive yet, but I mean, c'mon - it's more than six months old and it's said exclusively by white people, so… definitely a slur."

"But anyway, we can now digitally remove that hateful rhetoric and replace it with a new, totally accurate, and not offensive catchphrase that we can all agree on. And if anything makes great comedy, it's computer-generated statements that have been pre-approved by a communist politburo, am I right?"

Executives also announced plans to expand the use of the technology, originally developed by Wu Xiao Fan, Ltd. (translated: "You don't need to know"), into much more of Disney's back catalog.

Carter explained further, while a Chinese government representative held a large bag of cash just out of his reach, "In the future, Fozzie Bear's 'Wakka wakka' will become 'Hong Kong protesters are a menace!' and Chewbacca's 'Gggwwarrr!' will become 'I'm sure Peng Shuai is just fine!' It's yet another example of Chinese communist-approved technology making things better for everyone."

Red Peafowl - Assumptions and Theories

Now that I am semi-confident that there won't be any more important announcement for Red Peafowl until the 25th (because I think the last two mystery announcement were the Main Character and Main Love Interest) I am ready to write up my Red Peafowl assumptions/theories/wishes post.

Edit: There has been another update with the plot and some images of either the pilot trailer or the actual series link here. Once again thanks to @mysterygrl20 for putting the post with the google trnaslation here on tumbrl.

Going to use as basis for my information @blmpff post here; @mysterygrl20 individual posts tag here; and the mdl plot synopsis here; along with the synopsis I read on cast announcment articles that goes like this: The drama tells the story of Lu Yi Peng, a former police officer who decides to live with Shuai on an island, raising birds. However, he realizes that the person he once had a relationship with is a powerful mafia boss.

Also going to tag @respectthepetty for helping me narrowing down the leads (YinWar/MossBank) and for sharing my madness over this crazy ass BL already.

Going to start by saying that I think the three mystery characters are the villain, the hero and the love interest. I am also going to work under the assumption that while the last two will be revealed on the 25th (I am leaning on YinWar at the present thanks to a comment made by @amos-reviews-main [hope you don't mind the tag] under the last announcment) the third one our villain will stay a mystery.

Let's beging

ASSUMPTION N#1

Given that there seems to be a significant event in the past we are either getting two timelines (similar to kiseki dear to me but more evenly split between past and present) or the events from the past will be a mystery to the viewers to be slowly revealed using flashbacks.

Both of the plots hint at this, the character description for the hero and the fact that some of the stuff in other character description also seem to hint that they were part of what happen in the past.

If the second non mdl plot is more accurate something brings our hero back to town and into dealing with the mafia. Which leads me to

ASSUMPTION N#2

Cooheart character will be intrumental to bringing his brother our hero back into the fold. His character description hints at him being the biggest point of the contention between our main couple and that he has some kind of accident.

Another character that has an accident is Gun's character.

Also there is a doctor nurse in the cast list.

Edit: Cooheart's character accident is the past, and it has left him with a disability. I do still believe that he will get someone involved in all of this.

Either Gun's accident involves Cooheart's character (not on purpouse) in the present or Cooheart's character had an accident in the past and is now seeing a doctor regularly.

ASSUMPTION N#3

Like I mention earlier I think our third mystery character is the villain. His body dissapeared = No body no murder = he is still alive. That is just the biggest writing rule ever.

If the actor for that character doesn't get revelead it means that one of the other actor is actually that character pretending to be someone else (probably one of the cops or a character that doesn't interact with the love interest for obvious reasons). If they do have a seperate actor that probably means that at least one if not more of our big cast is secretely working for him.

ASSUMPTION N#4

There are only two genres that benift from having such a big cast and making sure they all have identifiable characteristics and fan anticipation: Mysteries or Something with a high body count.

It means that our cast of characters are either Suspects or Victims or Both.

EDIT: It's a mystery. I do still believe some of the people from the big cast are going to die.

Either way I do think that a lot of the new people will end up dying at some point during the series.

ASSUMPTION N#5

Themes. If this show has decent writing I can already ID 3 themes.

The new tendency in bl fandom to romanticize the mafia. See Lee's character being a human trafficker and our lead being potentially not that great either.

The cops, and how they are not there to protect and serve and how much the crime fight is really a sham. See Frank's character being an undercover cop (a plot line that usually has a the undercover cop come out on the other side with a semi-broken relationship to his job)

Toxic Ships (a la: Kinnporsche, Hannibal and Interview with the Vampire)

About the last one: I have a personal metric on wether or not I enjoy a toxic "problematic" ship

Do you get the sense/vibe from the writing that the creator/writers of the show knows this is fucked. And I don't mean a lampshade comment with someone saying "This is not healty" and everything resuming as normal.

Is there a point in which the dynamic becomes more equal. As in no matter which character is objectively "worse" is there a point where it feels like the characters are on equal footing, on the same side, Hannibal does this really well for example.

Some ships that don't pass the test are: Twilight, 50 Shades, R*ylo; TharnType and every ship on Love Syndrome (do not ever watch that BL I am serious)

ASSUMPTION N#6

Ships.

FrankLee are obviously our second couple. They are both super relevant to the potential themes, they are obviously trying to pair braind (this is their third BL) and they were also announced first.

Boun and the Doctor are giving me crumbs ship vibe. They are both potentially important chartacters. But I feel like with all of this their relationship might have the least ammount of dedicated screen time.

Now the last one is less of an assumption and more of a wish really.

Max-Coohearth > now listen I know that Cooheart has a love interest already, Rome one of the first new guys announced in the cast. But Listen the fact they are already dating doesn't bode well for them. Cooheart is a super important character and it makes sense that his "proper" love interest would be someone in the mafia proper.

Plus Cooheart deserves it ok. I loved both of his major roles (uwma and my only 12%), but he wasn't allowed to be a proper sexy queer guy in either of them. Have you seen his instagram feed? It's picture after picture of him in sexy outfits. Let this man be in a high heat realtionship, put in a skirt. He deserves it and so do we.

Also Max from iconic pair MaxTul pair with Cooheart will heal people. It would totally fix me. And if they give this to me I will forgive anything and everything this show does wrong seriously I will be like: I was wrong on everything and the plot is not that good, but they give me MaxCooheart so 10/10.

Also the character description for Max's character makes me think that catchphrase they mention might be something similar to the English phrase: "Who's Your Daddy?" and [this is @respectthepetty's fault, I didn't use to have such glee about a possibly daddy kink] seeing Max Nattapol uttering the phrase Who's Your Daddy and potentially having a DaddyKink relationship with Cooheart is something I didn't know I needed but now I desperately desire.

NAKU 🫵

[the-monkey-ruler]

Which major characters were created just for the novel and later became worshipped?

Well considering that most of the cast is already full of deities that are worshiped in other Taoism, Buddism, or Chinese folklore I can't really say that the novel created any new characters considering that Wu Cheng'en was taking these already popular stories and legends and just fitting them in a consumable narrative for the public to enjoy.

So short story.... none?

Long story...

I'll say this, I'm not sure if the publication of Wu Cheng'en's version of Xiyouji was the catalyst for making deities like Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie more well-known or if they were already set practices around that time and place and that the novel created a more 'canon' lore to follow. That sounds more like a historical question if anything that should be looked into like... academic articles would best answer when it comes to early Chinese religious practices.

I know that Sun Wukong was already worshiped before the publication, though I am not sure how widespread the practice was. There are shrines to his earlier name Qi Tian Da Sheng or Sun Xingzhe that are still present today. These acts of worship probably are what lead to including a monkey acolyte in XuanZang's first pilgrimage. From there his name became more widespread and a lot of the modern shrines today are made in the last century or so.

Zhu Bajie was already created before Wu Cheng'en's publication, seen as a deity that is the Taoist marshal Tian Peng Yuan Shuai. Again, I am not aware of how widely known he was but I knew today that Zhu Bajie has been seen as a patron protector for sex workers in Taiwan.

Sha Wujing has legends that he is based upon a sand deity that protected XuanZang when he went to India to fetch the scriptures, a Japanese Buddhist source claiming that he was an avatar of King Vaisravana. I am not sure if this has a lot of bases but he wasn't created for the purpose of the novel at least.

All that being said, all these characters already had creditable backgrounds that were used within the novel but I don't doubt that the publication of the novel is what has kept their legends alive to this day.

Xiyouji is all about religious meanings from many different aspects so it's not crazy to think that Wu Cheng'en was able to find and re-work already established figures into his narrative to create a memorable impression of these deities to new generations.

Peng Shuai sort de son silence, son interview chez L'Équipe

Lors de cet entretien exclusif, la joueuse de tennis revient sur les accusations de viol qu'elle avait proféré en novembre dernier. Elle parle d'un "énorme malentendu". La joueuse de tennis chinoise Peng Shuai, dont la disparition avait fait le tour des médias internationaux, est enfin sorti de son silence. Elle a ainsi accordé une première interview dans un média international, le journal sportif "L'Equipe". L'entretien a été réalisé alors que les journalistes du journal sont actuellement en Chine pour couvrir les Jeux Olympiques de Pékin. L'interview était une suite de question-réponse, dont certaines ont été porté à sa connaissance au préalable. Elle était accompagnée par deux personnes, l'une est membre du Comité olympique chinois et l'autre dont les journalistes ignoraient son rôles, parlait français. En échange, Peng Shuai n'a aucun droit de relecture sur la publication. Le directeur de la rédaction Jérôme Cazadieu a raconté les conditions de l'interview aux confrères de France Info. "Elle n'est pas libre ni de sa parole ni de ses mouvements" a-t-il déclaré à la radio le 7 février. https://twitter.com/franceinfo/status/1490587688021508096?s=20&t=QkESEvKEay5CWKL0il03Lw Pas de disparition, pas de viol et retraite sportif La joueuse a donc répondu à toutes les questions des journalistes français. Tout d'abord, elle réfute la thèse de la disparition. "Je n'ai jamais disparu. Simplement, beaucoup de gens, comme mes amis y compris du CIO (Comité internationale Olympique, ndlr) m'ont envoyé des messages, et il était tout à fait impossible de répondre à tant de messages", a-t-elle répondu au journal. Avant d'ajouter : "C'est pourquoi je ne sais pas pourquoi l'information selon laquelle j'avais disparu s'est répandue". La joueuse de tennis était réapparu après une quinzaine de jours sans nouvelles, sur plusieurs vidéos. Elle s'était également entretenu avec le président de la CIO le 21 novembre dernieR. Elle nie également en bloc avoir accusé un haut dignitaire chinois d'agression sexuelle même quand les journalistes de l'Equipe insistent. ""Agression sexuelle ? Je n'ai jamais dit que quiconque m'avait fait subir une quelconque agression sexuelle" a-t-elle déclaré à l'Equipe. Peng Shuai a aussi annoncé prendre sa retraite sportif. en effet, la joueuse de tennis met fin à sa carrière. « Le tennis a transformé ma vie, m’a apporté de la joie, des défis et tant de choses encore. Même si je ne participe plus à des compétitions professionnelles, je serai pour toujours une joueuse de tennis. » a-t-elle déclaré. Pour le directeur de "L'Equipe", il faut voir au-delà de ses réponses et "dans l'interstice la réalité". La jeune femme n'étant sûrement pas maitresse entière de ses actions, ses réponses sont probablement orientées par le pouvoir chinois. À lire également : La culture du viol : une crise sociétale Une accusation de viol qui a fait le tour du monde Début novembre, Peng Shuai avait accusé l'ancien vice-Premier ministre chinois de viol. Dans une publication postée en ligne, la joueuse de tennis affirmait avoir été contrainte à une relation sexuelle par Zhang Gaoli. Sa disparition depuis cette prise de parole inquiète. Mais qui est Peng Shuai ? Pourquoi dérange-t-elle tant Pékin ? En 2013, Peng devient championne en double à Wimbledon en 2013, puis à Roland Garros l'année suivante. Classée 191e joueuse mondiale en double, Peng Shuai est une star dans son pays. Début novembre, la joueuse publie une lettre accusant un ancien haut dirigeant du parti communiste, Zhang Gaoli, de viol. Depuis la publication de cette lettre par Peng Shuai, la jeune athlète reste introuvable. En effet, la lettre a été publiée sur le compte officiel Weibo, équivalent chinois de Twitter, de la joueuse de tennis. Dans cette lettre, elle explique que les faits se seraient déroulés entre 2013 et 2018. La tenniswoman ajoute également avoir été plusieurs années la maîtresse de l'ex-dirigeant chinois, une relation abusive selon elle, à laquelle elle aurait mis un terme aujourd'hui. Son message et son compte ont ensuite été supprimés. Depuis cette prise de parole, la jeune femme est introuvable. Inquiets, plusieurs stars de tennis lui ont apporté leur soutien sur les réseaux sociaux. Dans un tweet publié hier, Serena Williams se dit “dévastée et choquée” de la disparition de l'athlète chinoise. Elle demande aussi l'ouverture d'une enquête. https://twitter.com/serenawilliams/status/1461408866697105413?s=20 Peng Shuai : un nouvel e-mail sème encore plus le doute sur sa disparition ! Après avoir gardé le silence pendant près de deux semaines, la Chine brise enfin le silence sur la disparition de la tenniswoman. En effet, le média d'État chinois CGTN a publié mercredi un e-mail sur Twitter. Il s'agit d'un e-mail envoyé par l'athlète chinoise à Steve Simon, le directeur de WTA. Cette association gère le circuit professionnel féminin de tennis. Mercredi dernier, le média a publié l'intégralité du contenu de l'e-mail sans expliquer comment il a pu obtenir ces informations. Dans cette capture d'écran, Peng aurait affirmé : «Je n'ai pas disparu, et je ne suis pas en danger. Je suis juste en train de me reposer à la maison et tout va bien ».Peng Shuai https://twitter.com/CGTNOfficial/status/1461025491842916358?s=20 Dans ce mail, la championne de tennis dément aussi toute accusation de viol envers l'ancien haut-responsable chinois. Cependant, cette nouvelle information sème encore plus le doute sur la disparition de la jeune sportive ! En effet, Steve Simon ainsi que l'ONU demandent à Pékin une preuve vérifiable assurant que Peng est hors de danger. Aussi, certains ont remarqué un curseur de souris dans la deuxième ligne de l'e-mail. Ce qui suggèrerait alors que ce message n'aurait pas été réellement envoyé. Mais ce n'est pas tout ! Des observateurs ont souligné que la phrase : «J'espère que le tennis chinois continuera de progresser» à la fin de l'e-mail posait problème. En effet, cela serait une preuve de l'intervention de l'État chinois dans la rédaction du message. Selon ces mêmes observateurs, le langage formel et robotique ressemble à celui utilisé par la propagande d'État, un style très différent des propres messages de Peng sur Weibo. Read the full article

El libro que China no quiere que leas explica por qué desaparece (y reaparece) gente

Las desapariciones de Whitney Duan y Peng Shuai ponen de relieve la omnipresencia del Partido Comunista chino y su facilidad para silenciar cualquier voz que pueda poner en riesgo su posición

Carlos Barragán (ElConfidencial.es)

El empresario Desmond Shum llevaba más de cuatro años sin saber nada de su expareja, la multimillonaria Whitney Duan (Duan Weihong en chino). No daba señales de vida. La había llamado cientos de veces desde Reino Unido para que hablara con su hijo, pero el teléfono estaba apagado. Hasta que, a principios de septiembre, el día de publicación de su libro, recibió varios mensajes pidiéndole que le llamara. 

“¿Cómo te sentirías si le pasara algo a tu hijo? ¿Qué le ocurriría a nuestro hijo si algo me pasara a mí?”, le dijo Duan a Shum, según reveló él mismo en una posterior entrevista a la revista 'Time'. Duan, que había desaparecido en 2017 tras una campaña anticorrupción del Partido Comunista chino, le pidió a su exmarido que frenara la publicación del libro. Pero ya era tarde. “No sé si estaba hablando con ella o con sus secuestradores”, le dijo a 'The Economist' días después. 

Duan y Shum construyeron uno de los centros logísticos más grandes en el mundo en el aeropuerto internacional de Pekín, erigieron uno de los hoteles más ostentosos del país y se convirtieron en una de las parejas con más influencia y mejores contactos. Su fortuna rondaba los miles de millones de dólares y, como tantos otros empresarios chinos y occidentales que amasaron enormes cantidades de dinero en las últimas décadas, sus operaciones siempre rondaban los márgenes de la ley.

En 2015, Shum se divorció de Duan y se fue a vivir con su hijo a Reino Unido. El empresario, que en el libro no admite ningún delito y asegura que él pensaba que "estaba contribuyendo a una China mejor", veía con crecientes suspicacias la deriva autoritaria del país y la campaña anticorrupción emprendida por Xi Jinping. Su vida y sus negocios estaban en juego. Pero especialmente los de su mujer, con la que hablaba todas las semanas. Hasta que un día, en 2017, desapareció. “Es como si se hubiera evaporado”, escribe Shum.

Las semejanzas (y diferencias) con el caso Peng Shuai

En la misma introducción del libro, publicado antes de saber que su mujer estaba viva, Shum reconoce que las desapariciones sin motivo alguno ocurren “de manera regular” en China, donde el Partido Comunista tiene el monopolio del poder. “Ella sonaba que estaba bien, decía que no había tenido noticias del mundo exterior en los últimos cuatro años”, aseguraba Shum a la revista estadounidense. 

En las últimas semanas, medios internacionales y figuras del deporte se han movilizado ante la supuesta desaparición de la tenista Peng Shuai, quien el 2 de noviembre había acusado de violación a Zhang Gaoli, ex viceprimer ministro chino. Los medios estatales del país respondieron publicando imágenes de Peng Shuai para demostrar que la tenista estaba bien y las acusaciones de secuestro o desaparición eran infundadas. Incluso ella misma habló con el presidente del Comité Olímpico Internacional asegurando que se encontraba en buen estado y pedía que se respetara “su privacidad”. 

Pese a que es positivo verla, no queda claro si está libre y puede tomar decisiones por sí misma, sin que la obliguen o haya injerencias externas 

Desde la comunidad internacional, sin embargo, siguen llegando mensajes barnizados de escepticismo sobre la verdadera situación de Peng Shuai, que en un llamativo bandazo ha llegado a negar las acusaciones de abuso sexual que ella misma publicó hace tres semanas en Weibo, el Facebook chino. “Pese a que es positivo verla, no queda claro si está libre y puede tomar decisiones por sí misma, sin que la obliguen o haya injerencias externas. Estos vídeos son insuficientes”, afirmaba el presidente de la Asociación Femenina del Tenis, Steve Simon. 

“En China, el Partido Comunista puede inventarse cualquier tipo de prueba, forzar confesiones y acusarte de cualquier tipo de cargo”, escribe Shum en 'Red Roulette'. “Por supuesto, mucha gente se cree las acusaciones del partido porque el sistema es muy opaco. Es como la cifra de crecimiento económico: el partido fija una cifra y cada año China lo cumple de forma milagrosa. Todo el mundo repite la misma mentira, incluso los extranjeros, porque el partido es tan apto a la hora de ocultar la verdad y silenciar a las voces discordantes. Es casi imposible separar la verdad de la mentira”. 

Estas declaraciones de Shum, quien asegura que ya no puede volver a China nunca más, se podrían aplicar también a la historia de Peng Shuai. Mientras la cuenta de Weibo —donde vertió sus acusaciones de violación al líder político— de la tenista sigue bloqueada, los mismos medios estatales que no informaron sobre las denuncias de Peng Shuai ahora hacen hincapié en la hipocresía occidental por pedir explicaciones sobre el paradero de la deportista.

Cómo hacer negocios (de verdad) en China

Más allá de los paralelismos con estas desapariciones, el libro de Shum también es un retrato sobre cómo la corrupción rampante ha campado a sus anchas durante las últimas décadas en China. Es un desfile de acuerdos multimillonarios, borracheras con vinos absurdamente caros y anécdotas del día a día de la élite empresarial y política de China.

Los ejemplos de derroche abundan. Shum cuenta que en un viaje con varios empresarios y políticos del PC chino volaron a Europa en tres aviones privados distintos pero, como querían jugar juntos a las cartas, dos de ellos iban vacíos. Shum acabó perdiendo 100.000 dólares pero satisfecho de que, a la larga, perder le traería beneficios en las relaciones de negocios. Años antes, su mujer se compró una matrícula de coche por 200.000 dólares, uno de los mayores símbolos de estatus en la China de entonces. 

Si miras la lista de 'el más rico en China', a la mayoría de ellos no les ha ido bien. Quizás el 40% ha acabado en la cárcel 

Desde las reformas económicas de Deng Xiaoping en 1992, la economía había doblado su tamaño y lo volvería a hacer en 2004. Tras décadas de pobreza y miseria, el gigante asiático descubriría la riqueza y el propio Partido Comunista incentivaría el consumo con el lema 'Ser rico es glorioso'. “Básicamente”, escribe Shum, “el partido dice 'dadnos vuestra libertad y os dejaremos que ganéis dinero”. 

Durante sus años como empresario, Shum también ha visto desaparecer a amigos o compañeros en extrañas circunstancias o han sido juzgados. O peor aún. En 2009, su amigo y jefe del aeropuerto Li Peiying fue ejecutado por corrupción y por, según Shum, “hablar demasiado”. “El Partido Comunista chino tiene su propio código de 'omertà”, añade Shum, en referencia al pacto de silencio de la mafia. Algunos párrafos del libro no dejan lugar a dudas:

“Cualquiera que estuviera haciendo negocios en China lo hacía de esta forma, esquivando las normas en busca de un beneficio. Aprendí rápidamente que en China todas las normas o leyes se pueden esquivar siempre que tengas lo que los chinos llaman 'guanxi' o conexión con el sistema. Dado que el Estado cambia las normas todo el rato, nadie les daba mucha importancia”.

“Cualquiera que estuviera manejando un negocio considerable tenía posibilidades de estar violando algún tipo de ley, ecológica, impositiva o laboral. Por lo tanto, los beneficios podían ser muy golosos, pero siempre eras vulnerable. Cuando el Gobierno chino aprueba una ley, lo hace con carácter retroactivo, por lo que hechos que ocurrieron hace años en un momento de falta de regulación podrían convertirse en delitos hoy”.

“En China, donde la información es mantenida en secreto y el miedo permea el sistema, teníamos que ser cuidadosos. Las conexiones constituyen la fundación de la vida; por eso no queríamos desvelar las nuestras a nuestros competidores o al público en general”.

El relato que hace Shum en 'Red Roulette' tiene valor no tanto por los hechos sino por quién los cuenta. Su testimonio queda empañado porque él mismo ha formado parte de ese sistema, algo que le resta credibilidad pero, al mismo tiempo, le ha dado acceso para saber cómo funciona el entramado político y económico de los alrededores del Partido Comunista. 

Todo lo que sube como la espuma en el opaco sistema chino, sin embargo, suele caer igual de rápido. Tanto en su libro como en futuras entrevistas, Shum siempre ha insistido en que, salvo que pertenezcas a la estirpe del partido y estés del lado de la familia política del líder, nadie es intocable en China. Ni siquiera los más millonarios. “Ellos nunca fueron intocables”, decía Shum en la entrevista con 'Time' al ser preguntado por Jack Ma y otros multimillonarios que hicieron fortuna cerca del partido. “Si miras la lista de 'el más rico en China', a la mayoría de ellos no les ha ido bien. Quizás el 40% ha acabado en la cárcel y el 80% se ha caído de la lista por cualquier razón. Pensar que cualquier persona es intocable por tener dinero es una broma”.

En ese sentido, otra de las aportaciones más interesantes del libro es su lectura de la campaña anticorrupción de Xi Jinping, líder de China con el que Whitney Duan llegó a cenar una vez. Los defensores del dictador chino aseguran que, gracias a su mano dura, empresarios de dudosa ética ya no se atreven a lucrarse a título personal usando el Estado. Pero la campaña, según Shum, era una batalla política de Xi para quitarse de encima a sus adversarios políticos y pasar de ser una dictadura de “partido único” a una dictadura de “hombre único”. De hecho, su análisis recuerda a la respuesta que dio el profesor Rod MacFarquhar cuando le preguntaron si la campaña de Xi iba dirigida a acabar con la corrupción o con sus líderes políticos, a lo que él respondió con un simple: “¡Sí!”. 

Pase lo que pase, asegura Shum al final del libro, el Partido Comunista chino siempre seguirá haciendo lo que sea para sobrevivir, porque la corrupción está “intrincada en el sistema”. “Está en su ADN, no va a cambiar, no puede cambiar”. Y acaba con una reflexión. “¿Pero qué tipo de sistema permite los secuestros extralegales del tipo de Whitney Duan? ¿Qué tipo de sistema da a los investigadores el derecho de hacer desaparecer a la gente y ni siquiera informar a los padres o a su hijo?”.
