I haven't watched the documentary yet, but exiled billionaire Guo Wengui is a divisive figure and on some topics it's unclear how reliable he is.

Not to say any of his claims are false. In fact, I expect much of his claims against the government of China are true.

But it's just something to watch out for, especially when he talks about things further from his direct experiences.

For what it's worth, he's also close friends conservative media proprietors like former Trump-advisor Steve Bannon (who is articulate, has some interesting and mostly reasonable, well-thought through things to say, but is sometimes divisive).



Guo Wengui is not a reliable source of information on corruption in the CCP. Most of the claims he has made and documents he released could not be verified.

I think it's too bad, had he been less zealous in his crusade against the CCP he could have been a good source on how the CCP handles the upper business class. Now, any plausible observations and experiences are drowned out by partisan nonsense.


Given how few sources of information on the CCP there are, I'll listen to all Guo's claims and make up my own mind.
