Five years A night before. January 27, 2017 to be exact. Xiao Jianhua, one of China’s billionaires and a financial expert for political leaders, went missing from the famous Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong. Most reports suggest that Xiao was abducted by Chinese security officials. But nothing exists to confirm it. The next day, on January 28, 2017, the Hong Kong police received a phone call asking them to investigate Xiao. The local police started an investigation in this regard. But the next day, a relative of Xiao’s arrived. The police said that the investigation should be closed and that Xiao had contacted them and that he was somewhere safe. But now five years have passed…! Hong Kong is still searching for Xiao’s whereregardings? Where did he go? Or who took him? Recently, following a long hiatus, Xiao’s name is back in the news. The latest news is that his trial has started in China. But what did he do wrong? No one has seen Schiavo since January 27, 2017. At the time of his disappearance, he had a net worth of US$ 600 crore. That name has been in the top 35 of China’s billionaires list for years. Even following five years since such a prominent businessman went missing, not a single person searched. The Chinese media, under the iron fist of the Communist regime, have been silent until now. But the media in Hong Kong continued to report his disappearance from time to time. Western media have now got their chance. That too with the news that Xiao’s trial had begun. Beyond that, no one is clear. Although born in China, Xiao holds Canadian citizenship. But Canada has not even received China’s permission to send representatives to the court for the trial. What wrong did he do to make Xiao Xiao even ostracized from the outside world? Or is China afraid of that businessman? Is the 2015 disappearance of five Hong Kong booksellers and their subsequent capture by the Chinese authorities a repeat here? How many of those who were smuggled out by the Chinese authorities in the dead of night and later appeared on the list of those who did not see the outside world was Xiao? What is the secret behind the billionaire?
