I wonder if they have a better sense of something like that than wealthy liberal Californians do?
China is a house of cards. Very fragile.
My guess is that Trump and Kim and working together to get CIA out of NK (done) and China out of NK (in progress). I think the recent “walk away” from NK may have been strategic. Trump wants North Korea to be built up and successful. The other players want NK to be a puppet. Kim doesn’t want to be a puppet. He wants a legacy of being the man who made NK truly glorious.
Deal with China now. Then circle back and seal with deal with Kim.
How would it be possible for known billionaires to remove wealth from a communist country?
It doesnt seem very likely, does it?
They are buying real estate in Vancouver, Seattle, SF, LA, and NYC thru shell corporations designed to launder their profits and evade PRC capital controls.
I smell opportunity.
Ethnically I think it would even subdivide further then this map shows.
They were right on the verge of becoming the dominant nation on Earth, and now the old guard Communists are completely blowing it. Thank God they are dumber than we are. :)
They just purchase the instruction manual from that Nigerian prince.
Only $19.95!

[China is facing a lot of internal and external challenges now, said Fred Hu, founder of the investment firm Primavera Capital Group and former head of Goldman Sachss Greater China business. We need to realize that all of our achievements in the past 40 years were the results of opening up and economic reform, not because of any unique China development model.]
By bribing the middle to upper level functionaries tasked with overseeing foreign investments, I would think.

China is ruled by vicious, ruthless and arrogant aristocrats established by the founding of a new dynasty. They were never genuine “communists” then - while the people starved, Party stalwarts ate like kings. And they are definitely not “communists” today, unless you define “communism” as peasants handing over their entire harvests to the king for the king’s personal consumption. It was eyewash then, and it’s eyewash today.
They got to be billionaires, for the most part, by having companies that make stuff for export. Sell your stuff to a distributor (who you control) for $X. He, in turn, sells it for $X+Y, and deposits the $Y in a Western bank for you.
Lots of other ways. Just be sure to get yourself and your family out before you get caught.

CIA wishes it was in NK!
“They were right on the verge of becoming the dominant nation on Earth, and now the old guard Communists are completely blowing it. Thank God they are dumber than we are”
How do we know if they are “dumber than we are”? I am not so sure of that. I think when we are a minor part of the Caliphate in 2030 the same will be said about us..and we will be compared to the EU.
How are the Muslims doing in Turkestan? Well? Maybe they are the cause of the hullabaloo in Western China. China and Muslims breed so prolifically the difference in result may be like Turkey and the Muslims pouring into the EU.

There are plenty of Chinese business owners who would love to set up operations in the United States and Trump is facilitating this
I disagree, in the exact opposite direction. I believe that China is 91% Han Chinese... ad Taiwan is 95% Han.
BTW: On mainland China, they tend to treat non-Han Chinese pretty poorly... but not as bad as blacks or Japanese.
(But American whites are somehow the only racists on earth)
I don’t see the Manchurians represented. The Han definitely didn’t think they were Han particularly when they replaced the Ming . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchu_people
Also you can subdivide the western area up more the Turkic peoples there break down a little more.
