Li Ka-shing has fled, but how can mainland businesspeople flee? Can they leave behind their factory equipment, their family, their thousands of workers? Actually, mobs are not so frightening. What is truly frightening is a mob government!

The original Chinese-language post follows:

李嘉诚跑了,大陆的企业家怎么跑?厂房设备,父老乡亲,几千名员工,都抛下?其实,暴民不可怕,可怕的是暴民政府!
