The 
regime enlisted Jack Ma in an intimidation campaign to press businessman “H” — Huang Youlong (黄有龙), the ex-husband of Chinese actress Zhao Wei (赵薇) — to help in the purge of former Vice Minister of Public Security Sun Lijun (孙立军).
H, a China-born citizen of Singapore, was in Bordeaux, France, when he received the call from Ma in April 2021.
“They said I’m the only one who can persuade you to return,” Ma said.
Ma explained in the call that he had been contacted by Chinese security officials. “They spoke to me very seriously,” Ma told H. “They say they guarantee that if you come back now, they will give you a chance to be exempted … You have no other solution … the noose will tighten more and more.”
Later, Ma called H’s lawyer to reiterate the message.
H did not return to China and his lawyers fought his extradition in the French courts.
