It's funny to see comments leaping to WF's defense whilst impugning China. WF is one of the crookedest banks around. There's even a Netflix documentary about it. If history is a guide, China is right and WF is wrong.
@d4 Allegedly, she also works for the US Patent Office. This sounds like Official Cover to me. In other words, she's probably CIA. The banking racket is riddled with CIA spooks.
Can you imagine going to China on trip and they're like you can't go home. There's zero chance i would ever go there if they treat business people like this.
Yes, and China has such a sterling track record at telling the truth on what they are doing to their own people, of course they are telling the truth about this too!

WF was involved in something nefarious? Whaaa
