Jack Ma, a high-profile Chineseentrepreneur and e-commerce billionaire, disappeared from public view after he criticized the Chinese financial industry in an October 2020 speech.

In a January 2021 video, the businessman reappeared after vanishing for over two months. Ma was flat and subdued in the video, according to George. The Financial Times later reported that Ma was merely lying low.
Ma was seen in Spain in October of 2021.

Wang was a human rights lawyer.
Thomas Peter.
A Chinese human rights lawyer, Wang Quanzhang, was arrested with 200 other people in 2015 for their activism in the country. He was found guilty of subverting state power in a closed-door court with no journalists or foreign diplomats present.
His family did not know where he was for three years.
In the year of 2017, his wife Li said she didn't know if he was alive or dead. I have no idea what's going on. He has left the face of the earth. It is frightening and brutal.
Wang has no right to communicate with the outside world because he wasn't allowed to meet the lawyer that we have employed for him.
Wang was released in April 2020.
