I mean, if they did catch him, it’d make a whole lot of sense to remove any possibility of him further embarrassing the state by becoming a western propaganda mouthpiece, and you’ve got to remember this was a very extreme, near-existential crisis where radical measures were taken in response. Other leaders were also executed too, though after trials as far as I’m aware.

It’s possible it was plainclothes MSS officers who pulled him away, not fellow civilians.

No evidence either way though, beyond Jiang Zemin very nonchalantly admitting that the CPC had no idea who he was, so…

I mean it’s pretty silly to rank ‘top’ by the metric of ‘number of scientific publications’.

When has the US ever cared about “complying with world order”? They’ve set the order for decades and clearly continue to today, as evidenced by the fact that they’ll get away with this with no greater consequence that mild condemnation.
