Notes -
Just finished Red Roulette: An Insider's Story of Wealth, Power, Corruption, and Vengeance in Today's China. There should be some regulation on how long book subtitles can be.
It’s basically a Chinese guy’s real life rags to billionaire story. He is quite open about how their wealth was almost entirely made through mediating various forms of corruption between CCP officials. He tries to spin his own role in this corruption many times and it’s definitely tailored for attracting sympathy from western audiences. But overall quite a fascinating book.
