The son of the biggest property group owners in China bought his dog 2 gold Apple watches. The internet is disgusted.
But of course. Apparently worth around $50k for both. Flood of critics telling someone else how not to spend their money roll Highly doubt they're actually for the dog. In other watch news, Nadal was spotted wearing a $1m Rolex during a warm up match.
Maybe getting the money via property development via corrupt land theft from the likes of these people....is what makes it so disguising [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMnil9Jxrx8[/youtube] Villagers in China clash with police over land theft measures by government http://dgrnewsservice.org/2012/04/0...olice-over-land-theft-measures-by-government/ "Land grabs are the primary source of rural unrest in China. Earlier this year the international land rights organisation Landesa, which surveys Chinese farmers annually, warned: "The pace of land takings continues to accelerate, often leaving farmers poorly compensated and embittered." According to the online account, rubber farmer Li Xuelan committed suicide on 24 March over the land grab. The following day her relatives and colleagues held a memorial in the road, resulting in tailbacks up to 3.7 miles (6km) long. The account said numbers swelled into the thousands. But two days later, around 300 riot and special police forcibly dispersed them, injuring and arresting several people, it said. " Big difference from earning your money and flaunting it and stealing your money from the poorest who need it desperately and flaunting it. Chinese granny buried alive by property developers http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...anny-buried-alive-by-property-developers.html "A 70-year-old Chinese grandmother in the central province of Hubei was beaten and buried alive by property developers eager to get their hands on her land. "
Mother of god, I'm constipated with outrage right now. This guy should be forced to sell these watches and give the proceeds to poor people, the children and to jealous people
Maybe the father should just give back the land he stole. " It is not possible to refuse an eviction in China, since the government technically owns all the land. Chinese law also does not require developers to agree a compensation fee before they demolish a property. " http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...anny-buried-alive-by-property-developers.html
Massive assumption there. Tar them all with the same brush, makes it easier. None of the articles you've linked mention Dalian Wanda or the owner. And no, none of the comments mentioned they're disgusted where the money came from.
You mean this man.....Wang Jianlin The son of China's richest man bought 2 ultra-expensive gold Apple Watches for his dog http://uk.businessinsider.com/wang-...dition-dog-gold-rose-weibo-photos-2015-5?r=US Wang Jianlin, a Billionaire at the Intersection of Business and Power in China http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/29/w...tion-of-business-and-power-in-china.html?_r=0 "How the son of a foot soldier in Mao Zedong's Communist Revolution catapulted into the top tier of the global elite is an archetypal story of China's transition to capitalism and the outsize opportunities it presents those with talent or connections or, in Mr. Wang's case, both. His story, though, is also singular: He built one of the world's most valuable real estate portfolios in a nation where the state retains ownership of all land." ................ "Mr. Wang says he has prospered by delivering what ambitious party officials crave: choice real estate developments that propel economic growth and bolster their careers. In return, he says, the officials sell him the rights to develop choice parcels of land at prices far below what his competitors pay."
Yes, that one. Where there isn't any actual evidence he has been involved in what you are suggesting.
Oh yes he's very careful about that "Sensitive Words: Wang Jianlin http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2015/04/sensitive-words-wang-jianlin/ Sensitive Words highlights keywords that are blocked from Sina Weibo search results.

On Tuesday, the New York Times published an investigative report into the ties between Wang Jianlin, Asia's richest person, and the family members of China's political elite. The report was prepared by Michael Forsythe while he was working at Bloomberg, where editors killed the report before publication and dismissed him. Forsythe then resurrected the story after being hired by the New York Times in Hong Kong. The New York Times website has long been blocked in China. Authorities are working to further restrict any discussion of the report by censoring related keywords in Weibo search. Wang Jianlin + bigwig () can no longer be searched, nor can references to Wang's business empire such as Wanda shares + Xi Jinping (). Xi + older sister () is also blockeda reference to the president's sibling, Qi Qiaoqiao (), who is mentioned in Forsythe's report as an early investor in Wanda. Qi's name and that of her husband, Deng Jiagui () were first blocked from Weibo search results in July 2012 following the publication of a Bloomberg report into the wealth of Xi Jinping's family, and they remain blocked now. New York Times () also remains unsearchable on Weibo, as it has been since October 2012 following the release of an investigative report into the business dealings of then-Premier Wen Jiabao's family. Despite censorship, the Chinese New York Times still manages to keep a presence in the mainland mediascape by syndicating to local outlets and pushing stories to social media. " And here is why the Chinese state is very concerned to hush hush. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wukan_protests#Land_grab_and_resolution "Since the abolition of agricultural taxes in 2006, local government has been increasingly raising money through land sales to the extent that this is now a primary revenue stream.[18] Conflicts between farmers and local officials have risen throughout China, often because of land seizures (or "land grabs").[18] The rate of forced evictions has grown significantly since the 1990s, as city and county-level governments have increasingly come to rely on land sales as a source of revenue. In 2011, the Financial Times reported that 40 percent of local government revenue comes from land sales.[19] Guan Qingyou, a professor at Tsinghua University, estimated that land sales accounted for 74 percent of local government income in 2010.[20] According to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, by the end of 2011 there was a total of 50 million displaced farmers across China (from all preceding years), and an average of 3 million farmers are displaced across China per year.[21] In most instances, the land is then sold to private developers at an average cost of 40 times higher per acre than the government paid to the villagers.[22]"
