Are you really using China as an example of how this is handled well? From your own source:

>Ahead of this, Ma addressed an assembly of high-profile figures with a controversial speech that criticised the Chinese financial system. He was not seen in public again until late January. In the interim, there were rumours that he might have been placed under house arrest or otherwise detained. Some even questioned if he was still alive.

The lesson I would like people to take from China is that government is the only thing that can rein in corporate power. This is one reason (of many) why I either laugh or just roll my eyes at libertarians.

Obviously there are aspects of China you don't want to emulate (eg the ethnic cleansing).

What does anything in this thread have to do with "corporate power?" It's the cops who put these people in jail and you have exactly the same power as Hertz to file false police reports.
