In China, "harmed society or the economy" is very very often the excuse used to put political enemies into prison.

Yeah, like Jack Ma (of alibaba) who disappeared for months, and got his company's IPO canceled, all because he criticized the government's financial regulations a bit too much? Trump wishes he has as much ability to put people behind bars as Xi.

Is that true or is it just people that challenge the power of the current Communist Party leadership that get punished?
