Yea that was the version I was “taught”, that no one knows who is is or what happened to him and obviously that means the communist party disappeared him

Western media loves to talk about disappearances because you can say anyone has “disappeared” if they’ve just been out of the public eye for a bit. The audience is led to believe the implication that they were killed or imprisoned at some black site, but since the source never actually said that they technically didn’t say anything false, even if they were perfectly fine the whole time.

Anybody remember that tennis player, Peng Shuai? I had a lib I know irl hit me with it as evidence that China was disappearing dissidents. I mentioned the above to him, and then, sure enough, she got Juche necromancy-ed.

Meanwhile, in America, where the cops kick your door down at 3am and your family doesn’t have any idea where you’ve gone or what happened to you…

Not to mention the literally millions of undocumented people who get kidnapped and shipped somewhere. Even the government admits it doesn’t know what happens to some of them.

When really he was just some guy and it was 1989 so it’s not like there was social media or anything to identify him.
