Murdoch started in Australia, moved on to England, then moved on mostly to the U.S., but probably has a lot of offshore operations to avoid taxes. Now he's shifting at least one operation from Hong Kong to UAE? It is certainly discomforting the way he has flirted first with China and now with the Arabs. But I think a worse problem will arise when he dies. Who will take over?
His wife, Wendi, is only in her early 40's. I'm not certain of her politics but she was born in mainland China.
