The strict law about what can and cannot Chinese say, share, and see online doesn't help this.

Yes there are tons of nonsense online about China. But it is not helped by the total dragnet there is over there. And by the fact that some of the over-the-top stuff about China is indeed true.

I mean Jack Ma really _was_ disappeared right after the speech.

Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai also step off the stage after finishing speeches. Does that mean they have been "disappeared"? They have a private life in case you aren't aware. Acknowledging the fact that the CCP is meddling with private sector businesses is not an excuse to spout misinfo.
He went missing for months

Tim Cook stepped off Trump’s board of CEOs and did not disappear. Jack Dorsey banned Trump from Twitter and didn’t disappear. Elon Musk constantly goes after Biden for no reason. He has not disappeared.

jack ma disappeared from the entire world - not a single photo could be found by people legitimately asking where he was. not even a publicist "he's holidaying in this country at the moment" could be had. if he was a reticent person maybe it could be excused but he's been a jet setter for a decade now with tons of social appearances.
