Brilliant, you asked questions that lead Desmond to reveal a lot more of his past experiences that impacted on his and his ex wife life which resulted this book. An amazing couple who happened to be at the right time, the right place and met all the right people at the concealed communist highest ranking hierarchy, how destiny played out. If they were in any democratic society, they would have been considered the crème de la crème’s, still. Thank you.
i really admire Desmond Shum's courage. I recommend his excellent book, the corruption and favour system amongst the Chinese elite is absolutely dizzying to read about.
@@titanxie5579 BS. Same story with the old Soviet Union, communist dictatorships all run the same way. It’s just interesting to hear and read a detailed account.
@@galaxy-star-me there is a difference between communism and socialism. They are actually not comparable. And there are many very successful socialist countries in this world, and many democratic countries’ run socialist programs. There is no right or wrong, or black or white. The answer always lies in between.
All the leftist regimes, no matter what you call it communism or socialism , will turn into a totalitarian regime which is corrupted by its nature sooner or later. It is because the underlying ethics of leftist ideology is not equality but coercion !
No， his story is full of lies about China, including the Hong Kong part. He is a corrupted businessman who lost favors after Xi Jinping took power and cleaned up. He is the trash being thrown away, which is why he is not happy with Xi Jinping.
Great interview and definitely provides a view that average people from outside of China couldn't even imagine. Corruption is everywhere but it's the very core of the CCP. Thanks for sharing your story Desmond.
He is unbelievable individual we love him!!! I love his courage , his beliefs . China is most brutal government in the world ! What's happening in my second home Hong Kong is so very very sad!
Desmond is a brave man. I admire his courage to tell the story. Frankly, his wife's detention is part of the game. S he was on the wrong side of the game after regime change. She must have known some dark secrets and needed to be silenced. Desmond took a gamble to reveal the story and at least she had some form of freedom now but I doubt she can leave China anytime soon. I wish the family well.
He was originally a male nanny in his wife's family, and then cheated his employer's feelings and money. At that time, because no matter how to suppress the financial stability of Hong Kong, China, international capital let him personally participate in and promote the student movement in Hong Kong. He transferred foreign capital and financial money from the grey industry in Hong Kong to Japan, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, etc., through sports fraud, and then harvested financial capital in Wall Street. Police officers guiding Hong Kong were injured while maintaining order empty-handed, resulting in street cleaners being burned to death by firebombs. Many investors lost their money
I am reading it and from the book, I believe Shum cares nothing but his personal success. He mentioned a person's disappearance without charge at the end of the Chapter 10, but he was kind of happy for eventually having a new manager to sigh documents for his project. When he wrote the Chapter, his ex-wife has already been experiencing the same: disappeared without charge which is about the CCP's RSDL, Residential Surveillance at a Designated Location, black jail, but it doesn't matter to him except speaking of his ex-wife. Also, if the CCP didn't get fact to charge his ex-wife, his book provided many evidence for this purpose. He looks sincere in the video but I don't know if he has some other purpose or not, to be honest.
The government can charge her anything without even knowing any facts, which I would assume there is nothing they do not know when they have that kind of control over anything and anyone. That’s how the system works, as you can read many cases of political officials and their relatives. What kind of purpose he can have when he puts his life, and his family’s lives on the line to publish this book? If he doesn’t speak up, he will probably one day disappear like his ex-wife if the government wants so, and many more people will end up with the same mysterious disappearance due to their potential political impacts on the Party’s power.
His personal success was also China’s success. His airport project made efficient travel in China. There will be few driven people left in China to make massive projects work if they know in the end they’ll lose it all.
@@hkpfalldie are you from China or living in China... I talk to so many Chinese people in US and I ask about war with China... I hope we never go to war 😢... Also I hope Taiwan stays free... BC Hong Kong is gone... No more freedoms sooooo sad
I'm glad he didn't talk about other things, just his life and himself. I like that. I hope he stays safe and prosperous! I love his insight. His wife is the 'Chinese dream' or rich CEO classic story. Sigh, maybe it all got to her. Was it arrogance? Afraid of change? Caught up in the high life? Who knows! Only he knows probably. Watch his other interviews!
Unless you believe CCP are so nice regime. If so, then you are so naïve. In CCP mind, they only care power and power and power. President Xi is just brutal dictator and have kindergarten education
I understand your logic. But you should bear in mind that China extremely lacks transparency. There is no way to have a fair process to confirm what you want to confirm. Just listen to his story and be thankful that there is at least a story from that special world to be available to you.
@@Xunxunism “China extremely lacks transparency. There is no way to have a fair process to confirm what you want to confirm” - yeah so just blindly believe him ... funny how the West is always shedding tears for these billionaires
@@cynthiamagic2994 controrarily me and the common Chinese people think alike. Just because people like him exist in high places in government and in big cooperations, there are not equal opportunities for us commoners. They committed crimes to take a lot of people’s chances, when it’s time for them to pay, they just bad mouthed the system. Why cannot they admit they were a part of it and pay for what they did. There are negative options about CCP or China all because of what these people did in their past. It’s like they fought and lost, then they cry and bad mouth the other party

I love Desmond, he is so in touch with his inner self and feeling. I wish him all the best in his life.❤ I read his book in one breath.
Watch the above comments and video about the Rogue Desmond Shum, stole billions from China and accused Xi of accusing him of corruption.
I admire Mr. Shum's courage to share his experience.
I have read your book last week and very impressed by your courage and integrity for sharing your story to us.
Just finished the book, sorry for Whitney

He himself is part of the corruption and Xi Jinping is fighting corruption, Desmond is no longer in favor, which is why he hates Xi
Mr Shum is great decent man, were born in ShangHai, Grow up in HongKong,
I found and bought his book in Australia. Really thank for his in-depth sharing of CCP. Bless his family.
I love how Fearless this man is and also saddened by his story. The CCP has no soul what so ever. They worship Power and Money.
He has to say what he said to be able to stay in US. That is the only value of him.

Yes and yes indeed 😚

How to become an idol in the west?

What is wrong with “other purpose”？it is okay for people to have multiple purposes.
How have you come to a conclusion that caring about self success is kind of a negative thing?
His personal success was also China’s success. His airport project made efficient travel in China. There will be few driven people left in China to make massive projects work if they know in the end they’ll lose it all.

Just man up and be responsible for your crime. I donot where did he get the decency to talk in front of people with being a total criminal
shill
His crime was becoming more successful with dyed in the red communists.
Apparently you and CCP think alike.
