It may seem like magic, but the Chinese have become accustomed to seeing high ranking corporate officials who disagree with policy, suddenly disappear and not be found for some time. But what we have to wonder about is that lovely star of cinema, Fan Bingbing, who played Blink in X-men. I don't watch that series myself, but lots of people in the US and China know her name.
Disappearing is not the same as being arrested anywhere else in the world. No charges are necessarily brought; no comments are made; no relatives get to post questions about her whereabouts while in government hands. She just disappears.
When she emerges, we will find out what she was charged with because we can see her confession and know her sentence. She probably won't be making any movies for a long time, if ever. It is curious way of prosecuting a person in a criminal justice system that is not known for fairness. If you haven't heard of "black jails" I suggest you do a little reading on the subject. It is foreign to most free-world countries to contemplate such a thing.
