The billionaire Chinese property tycoon has been waging a media war against his homeland’s government. Guo says he’s trying to stamp out corruption and graft, but China accuses him of the very same thing. WATCH NEXT on another Chinese billionaire - bit.ly/2r46kJT
As a businessman, in China, no corruption, no bribery, no money，do you understand？Corruption caused by the government，Not caused by businessmen，DO YOU UNDERSTAND??????
@ This i a false perception. He is not asking interesting or difficult quesitons, he is just weirdly postering in some strange display of trying to be alpha. As a result he is making the interview uncomfortable and just seems extrmeley insecure.
I agree. That last part was put in by people who don't know that the base cost of luxury apartments in NYC is just that: base, it does not include the special mansion taxes, closing costs, and upfront payments for various additional amenities like special private gym, pool, yact and car garage totally separate from those of the other tenants that is part of the luxury apartment but for which you must pay separate purchase price. This isn't a regular "luxury apartment" near Central Park its in a very specific area. The producers did not do their research (OR they purposely ignored it so they could put that little "zinger" in the end even thought its 'fake news'. VICE after all is no Trump supporter and this man is friendly with the administration).
Also I’m thinking why the F does that matter ? Just goes to show that all these people judge is how much money they have...sad existence really. That old still haven’t realize the purpose of life is not money
They have access to every social sites with VpN's. Only the ignorants or poor don't have access to You-Tube or other social sites. And why waste your time on sites where you don't have anyone you know personally, will be kinda boring.
Just arrested in NY this week. DOJ charged him of defrauding American investors of over a $billion - exactly what the Chinese govt was going after him for years ago but the US did not cooperate, instead we portrayed him as a victim of CCP, put him on a platform and exalted him.
What are you talking about? Vice in this report was WAY ahead of everyone else! He lied repeatedly in this interview including even about what he paid for his apartment. Vice also reported he was "close friends" with shady, corrupt Trump admin. officials like Steve Bannon. This was five years ago and just a few days ago he was finally arrested for securities and wire fraud! Vice called him out on it five years ago! How did it "not age well"? I don't think you watched the same video everyone else did lol.
@@StinkyTits It's not tax evasion it's money laundering. The apartment and all his assets should be seized as proceeds of crime from his connections with communist officials. I hope he can be successful going forward and bringing light to the evil CCP, but that doesn't excuse his actions.
He mentioned how they even hacked his yacht through his cell phone and how some of his family members are thrown in prison.. You have to give this man credit for doing this, a multi-billionaire who could just live his quiet fancy life, yet he wants risk his life to go against the CCP
Now not only is he caught up on fraud and corruption charges in China he’s also being investigated for his involvement in the Steve Bannon scandal... so yea... I’d be skeptical about his claims and the methods that he acquired his wealth in the first place
boy, ccp is the reason why he got rich at the first place, ccp even allowed him to bring all the money and left the country, people say hes ccp spy for a reason.
@@ericbappity quite ironic that I actually read about that on the Washington post eh? His involvement with the Steve Bannon scandal is well documented by the FBI and the SEC... so yea
Hack a yacht? That would be the best joke 2020. LMAO. I can say both of you and he are uneducated. HAHAHA, that is ridiculous. You really make me laugh.
why did you guys say at the end that his apartment was not 82 mill but 65mill? I thought that was the stupidest ending ever, the does not matter, no ones gives a crap if he was lying slightly about the price of his flat, also when you buy big properties like that you don't pay everything in white (legal money) there is always a chunk in Black or B money (illegal) to avoid a little taxes, everybody knows that.
@1:02 vice mentions 68mil (so they also "lied" about the number) which is as $67.5,mil when guo mentions the price is fake and he paid $82mil its about a deeper meaning of the way price is associated to an object and the reality of the way the media exaggerates the numbers to spin the narrative
Vice, the penthouse price difference might be due to higher Exchange rate at the time, agent fees, luxury property tax, large sum oversea transfer fee etc. For a foriegn buyer, it can easily pile up on top of the asking price on contract. So to him, he actually paid that much out of his pocket, which ends up been much higher than what the vendor got on records.
Hey, Remember this, before he was accused for graft and bribary, he owns so much money and 'preteded' to love the communist regime. Why didnt he thought about changing the system then. Why when the police wantted him make him realise he want to do something for the society? Typicall dirty businessman he is.
that man was a criminal, that's public knowledge in china. when he fled to US, he became a fugitive. However, FBI believed he was a dissident, a freedom fighter, so let him stayed in the country. Now it turned out that enemy of your enemy might not be your friend.

no at that level it is negotiated 3% on each side(seller) (buyer) is the standard in the USA =Broker fees. but I have seen them take 1% on hard to sellproperties.

Oh but it does mean something. Namely when filing taxes...... The credits for business expenses on 82mil vs 65mil could very well be in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.
@@OE-vc5si The U.S. won't ditch him. Even if he were to become bankrupt, that would not be a reason for the U.S. to let China take him. BUT...it's his own responsibility to maintain his personal security, including bodyguards and security systems for his car and his home. And the guy seems smart enough to make sure he can afford all that. The only legal responsibility the U.S. has to him is to let him freely stay in the U.S. until his condition changes. That's all.
@@chadkent1158 But in China that happens a lot more common than in America. *That's like comparing frequent murders in Mexico to rare murders in Norway and saying both countries are same.* All that is still nothing compared to China where "Freedom" is a censored word, and you can't even legitimately get on Twitter, Facebook, Google, or UA-cam. They censored "June 4th" (Tiananmen) so Chinese people have to refer to it as "May 35th."
@@chadkent1158 I said random civilian, not a whistle-blower. Even if any of what you say it's true, then it is just as wrong as what CCP does. That is no justification for CCP to act like thugs.
Not only VICE, all the western journalists are lying to western public with the massive weapons of deception due to their belief/illusion about human rights and democracy. With the illusion they just don't know they are lying. Guo is one example eventually the lies cannot be covered. Knowledgeable Chinese who understand the ground truth already know Gou is a scammer long time ago. Western journalists just need some fake materials(like slave labor, concentration camps) to prove their ideologies base fabrication and pretend they are reporting. it's very effective. The whole western population are brainwashed again and again. Iraq War , Lybia , Guo, all are from fake information. Now they naively believe China is a threat.
I agree. This report shows Vice was way ahead of most other major news organizations in their truthful, unbiased reporting. Vice exposed this man as an unapologetic liar and spreader of fake news as they even got him to admit @ 1:02 saying the idea of "fake news" is "really good". He lied repeatedly in this interview including even about what he paid for his apartment and Vice called him out on it. Vice also reported he was "close friends" with shady, corrupt Trump admin. officials like Steve Bannon and this was BEFORE Bannon was arrested too! This story was five years ago and just a few days ago Guo was finally arrested for securities and wire fraud (lying) and only now everyone else is finally talking about him! Vice called him out on it five years ago, WAY before anyone else was talking about him! Once again Vice is years ahead of the other mainstream media on their stories and as you said in your comment, as their old stories only make mainstream headlines years later they are even more poignant as they age.
@@ulture i saw a headline form an indian media said ' chinese billionaire arrested' normal people who didn't watch the full report and just reading the headline will think Guo was arrested by Chinese government. And note the charges of guo by the Americans is the exactly same as the Chinese yrs ago.
It's funny how I'm not a politician but still know so much about Chinese politics, as long as you study it for more than 2 years, like me, you will be an expert.
The world is not black and white. It's more likely that he's a crook and the CCP is still after him. He's a big Trump supporter and funds a whole bunch of propaganda channels on UA-cam that mix a bit of truth in with lots of half-truths and plenty of pure horseshit. Steve Bannon was arrested by the feds on his boat. He'll be kept around as long as he's useful.
Jay Poe what he says vs what’s on record, if he’s lying about how much he paid for something then what else would he lie about ? ( not saying he’s a liar just saying that’s how people see it )
Because he said he paid 82 million for the apartment but on record he only paid 62 million. He lied about it. Therefore we can conclude that he is liar. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
he said he paid 82 million total, it had to be refurnished and redone as well on top just the price of the building itself. they are playing a semantics game with someone whos first language isnt even english.
To the people that wonder why the interviewer is disrespectful: He is jelous. This is what jelousy looks like. He looks at the chinese guy, thinks to himself, i can speak bettter english than this guy, and he seems stupid and gullible, why dont I have anything like this. Its a bullies mentality, and the thought pattern of small minded people.
It's crazy that people think this guy is stupid and gullible - he's just super LIKABLE, because that's how you get ahead in life. You don't end up one of the top guys in China w/ tons of connections and knowledge about inside deals by being arrogant and unlikable.
@S R By that logic, he also used to associate with top CCP officials. This guy has RECEiPTS, ignoring him because he used to hang out w/ bad people is stupid. He backs everything he says up.
@S R His information's really good: ua-cam.com/video/4cwXifDaCjE/v-deo.html He was literally friends with a lot of top CCP officials. On his own youtube channel he periodically releases recorded calls of said top officials. That's the kind of crazy insight that no one else has. This interview painted him badly.
It’s the American way of thinking. Why do you think that so many people are against free healthcare and free tuition because they don’t want to pay more taxes... In Europe, for example, ppl are willing to pay more taxes for the greater good.
people don't understand, in China/Russia government official taking money is called bribe, because their position is selected, not voted. In America, it's called DONATION, so it's legal, and function as the exact same way as bribe, but of course, they are the one making the laws and passing the bills, so everything is okay.
This might just be me but the interviewer’s body language came out as if he was trying to be an Alpha. It made me uncomfortable, it’s as if he was insecure of him and tried to impose his dominant attitude as a self defense mechanism. It was vexing but maybe I perceived in the wrong, who knows. Edit: yeah I really find him aggressive/imposing lmao
Did you realize that he was the guy bribing those official or you think some random dude can become billionaire in China in the 90's without speding millions in bribes?
@@LF-hj8kk Of coz he bribed, who else doesnt bribe in China? Its a common thing that everyone does in a daily basis. To put it in context, do you think president Xi ever bribe in his life? Answer that truthfully. :P
@@lass1234 Of course Xi took lots of bribes but I'm pretty sure that if China hadn't decided to prosecute him for bribery, he would be still gladly bribing officials to death whitout complaining. He is an hypocrit. And yes, everyone bribes in China, but he didn't do it like every chinese on their daily life just to barely sustain basic needs, he made BILLIONS off of it
@@LF-hj8kk Yeah I totally understand what you mean: Xi bribe, but "Chinese authority" didnt prosecute him. --> So he is OK Guo bribe and flee to the US. --> He is not OK I feel your pain man.
There are so many poor people in China. What have this Ah kwai done to these poor Chinese people? How did he become so rich? He himself must be very corrupted

Of course, that's the point of his expose'. He was once a part of the circle, and once he's stopped dancing to the beat of their drum, they didn't like that too much. So, he wants to rip them apart. He's not the villain we expect, but sometimes it is just the villain we need to take down the larger enemy.
now it is in 2019, and as a person who comes from mainland China, it is getting harder and harder to find VPN, also it is not stable. Personally I believe we have basic human rights to know opinions from different perspectives, it is the precondition for us to have critical thinking as well as make sensible decision
I am a foreigner n I study in Beijing. bro, you can relax, your countries authorities are angel. Where I come from, if you say anything against gov, you are arrested by tomorrow.
He's a product of his environment and at some point you reflect on your actions. It's clear he was pushed into a corner by the same corrupt system that gave him so much. So whether or not he stays rich and safe for the foreseeable future, he's willing to fight back while he still has the ability to. You have to respect him for that much. I agree with his perspective that corrupt governments blind the citizens to certain truths so scandalous circumstances can improve a few while most suffer.
At least corrupted China put billionaires into jail or exile them. The American politicians lick the boot of billionaires, while the foolish American still believe in their democracy.
King Yellow..I will mostly agree with your idea. But the American Democratic system was never truly a democracy from the beginning. It limited the abilities of the people due to the massively unbalance education and literacy rate of the time. The system was never upgraded only patched to adjust to certain issues of the era. And the Chinese government wasn't free of this bias either at its recreation in 1949 but does have more control over its private citizens within the borders. So both have pros and cons depending on what kind of lifestyle (entrepreneur, artist, psychologist, journalist, etc..) suits you.
The truly democracy never exist. Look at the ancient Greece. The democracy is built upon slavery. Even after the end of slavery, racial segregation and imperialism are still "enslaving" people domestically or all around the world, which is the context for massive communist revolutions in many third world countries like China.

*No! he is one of the most corrupted businessmen, freed out of China just before his economic crimes was charged by Chinese police. He is using some very old fashioned trick "anti-China" to gain some sympathy from The US for receiving a refugee status* .

this vid aged like VICE's journalistic integrity
also hi chat
US government is a CCP puppet😂😂
fun to see all the headlines immediately go from calling him a "Chinese dissident" to just "Chinese"
Not only VICE, all the western journalists are lying to western public with the massive weapons of deception due to their belief/illusion about human rights and democracy. With the illusion they just don't know they are lying. Guo is one example eventually the lies cannot be covered.
Knowledgeable Chinese who understand the ground truth already know Gou is a scammer long time ago. Western journalists just need some fake materials(like slave labor, concentration camps) to prove their ideologies base fabrication and pretend they are reporting.
it's very effective. The whole western population are brainwashed again and again. Iraq War , Lybia , Guo, all are from fake information. Now they naively believe China is a threat.
I agree. This report shows Vice was way ahead of most other major news organizations in their truthful, unbiased reporting. Vice exposed this man as an unapologetic liar and spreader of fake news as they even got him to admit @ 1:02 saying the idea of "fake news" is "really good". He lied repeatedly in this interview including even about what he paid for his apartment and Vice called him out on it. Vice also reported he was "close friends" with shady, corrupt Trump admin. officials like Steve Bannon and this was BEFORE Bannon was arrested too! This story was five years ago and just a few days ago Guo was finally arrested for securities and wire fraud (lying) and only now everyone else is finally talking about him! Vice called him out on it five years ago, WAY before anyone else was talking about him! Once again Vice is years ahead of the other mainstream media on their stories and as you said in your comment, as their old stories only make mainstream headlines years later they are even more poignant as they age.
@@ulture i saw a headline form an indian media said ' chinese billionaire arrested' normal people who didn't watch the full report and just reading the headline will think Guo was arrested by Chinese government. And note the charges of guo by the Americans is the exactly same as the Chinese yrs ago.
Vice news proves to be dogshit in the end as always.

The world is not black and white. It's more likely that he's a crook and the CCP is still after him. He's a big Trump supporter and funds a whole bunch of propaganda channels on UA-cam that mix a bit of truth in with lots of half-truths and plenty of pure horseshit.

VICE got scammed as well😂
why does it matter how much he paid for the apartment?
Jay Poe what he says vs what’s on record, if he’s lying about how much he paid for something then what else would he lie about ? ( not saying he’s a liar just saying that’s how people see it )
Because he said he paid 82 million for the apartment but on record he only paid 62 million. He lied about it. Therefore we can conclude that he is liar. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
for all kinds of tax reasons , family destroying accounts and then him evading ....... it matters
he said he paid 82 million total, it had to be refurnished and redone as well on top just the price of the building itself. they are playing a semantics game with someone whos first language isnt even english.
Jay Poe Right, it doesn't matter at all what's he's doing is revolutionary.
"They did a very bad job teaching you communism" xD
To the people that wonder why the interviewer is disrespectful: He is jelous. This is what jelousy looks like. He looks at the chinese guy, thinks to himself, i can speak bettter english than this guy, and he seems stupid and gullible, why dont I have anything like this. Its a bullies mentality, and the thought pattern of small minded people.
It's crazy that people think this guy is stupid and gullible - he's just super LIKABLE, because that's how you get ahead in life.
You don't end up one of the top guys in China w/ tons of connections and knowledge about inside deals by being arrogant and unlikable.
@S R By that logic, he also used to associate with top CCP officials.
This guy has RECEiPTS, ignoring him because he used to hang out w/ bad people is stupid. He backs everything he says up.
@S R His information's really good: ua-cam.com/video/4cwXifDaCjE/v-deo.html
He was literally friends with a lot of top CCP officials. On his own youtube channel he periodically releases recorded calls of said top officials. That's the kind of crazy insight that no one else has.
This interview painted him badly.

Wooooooooow this the apartment that caught fire the other day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂
America and Miles ，you are SO GREAT
people don't understand, in China/Russia government official taking money is called bribe, because their position is selected, not voted. In America, it's called DONATION, so it's legal, and function as the exact same way as bribe, but of course, they are the one making the laws and passing the bills, so everything is okay.
The interviewer was condescending at times.

Of course, that's the point of his expose'. He was once a part of the circle, and once he's stopped dancing to the beat of their drum, they didn't like that too much. So, he wants to rip them apart.

The old comments for this video aged like a fine red milk
He's a product of his environment and at some point you reflect on your actions. It's clear he was pushed into a corner by the same corrupt system that gave him so much. So whether or not he stays rich and safe for the foreseeable future, he's willing to fight back while he still has the ability to. You have to respect him for that much. I agree with his perspective that corrupt governments blind the citizens to certain truths so scandalous circumstances can improve a few while most suffer.
At least corrupted China put billionaires into jail or exile them. The American politicians lick the boot of billionaires, while the foolish American still believe in their democracy.
King Yellow..I will mostly agree with your idea. But the American Democratic system was never truly a democracy from the beginning. It limited the abilities of the people due to the massively unbalance education and literacy rate of the time. The system was never upgraded only patched to adjust to certain issues of the era. And the Chinese government wasn't free of this bias either at its recreation in 1949 but does have more control over its private citizens within the borders. So both have pros and cons depending on what kind of lifestyle (entrepreneur, artist, psychologist, journalist, etc..) suits you.
Natural is more beautiful. Money has no true reflection of the self but reflection of desire.
The truly democracy never exist. Look at the ancient Greece. The democracy is built upon slavery.
Even after the end of slavery, racial segregation and imperialism are still "enslaving" people domestically or all around the world, which is the context for massive communist revolutions in many third world countries like China.
I'm a Chinese, the only thing I want to say is that America is a Great country!
