China: The Disappearing Millionaires I ARTE Documentary

WATCH: Digital Revolution in Rural China: E-Commerce Villages I ARTE Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMVcfprCRuU China's self-made millionaires and billionaires were a major part of the country's success story. But now, the rich and famous may have fallen out of favour with the CPP. One by one, they go missing, or commit 'suicide.' One billionaire who fled to the US is ringing the alarm. In China, the topic is taboo, but the Western press has been reporting for a good two years about the disappearance of millionaires and billionaires, the icons of growth in the People's Republic - there are said to be at least dozens of them missing. According to some NGOs this figure is possibly even 400. Living in exile in New York, Chinese billionaire Guo Wangui, who presents himself to us as a "survivor", tries to warn his rich colleagues in China via social media. In his $40 million flat overlooking Central Park, he told our reporters that close family members of his were killed in China and he is still being persecuted today by government henchmen. He says China's CP has allowed entrepreneurs to build up the economy for years and now wants to get rid of them because it is afraid of their influence. Our reporters met the Chinese entrepreneur Hu Kexin who has made his fortune in household and agricultural products and now wants to import baguettes and croissants into China. He bought thousands of hectares of land in France to grow grain for flour and even hired French bakers to teach their Chinese colleagues how to bake 'à la française'. But then, from one day to the next, Mr Hu was no longer to be seen: he vanished without a trace and has not been sighted in either France or China...
