BEIJING - Chinese police on Friday detained the chairman and chief executive officer of New York-listed Fincera Inc for suspected financial crime. Li Yonghui, a Canadian national, is suspected of illegal acceptance of public funds, Shijiazhuang police in northern Hebei said in a post on its official social media account.

Police said they also detained Fincera’s legal representative Shen Hui and several other people. The company did not answer phone calls from Reuters seeking comment. Fincera, once the largest peer-to-peer lending platform in Hebei province by loans, was caught in a regulatory crackdown of the country’s P2P firms and forced to close, according to documents acquired by Reuters in August.

Same plot played by CCP again and again

CatBus2D They will be 'disappeared' and then reappear in front of the camera to state 'sorry China, I am wrong'. It is the common tactics China CCP use.

Very honored that China's small action can be on the news.

Other countries have no other criminals in other countries?

We’ll see him pledge guilty soon - not in the courtroom, but in a typical “confession” video shown on state TV.

And Trump is so proud and happy about his relationship with China?

Brilliant. Knowing how 'tough' realDonaldTrump is on China he'll probably send few more CEO'S to get detained in China to please his Xi boyfriend

A Canadian arrested for “suspected illegal acceptance of fund”.... what a coincident of timing.

Trade deal is going well! 😂

I'd like to see what 'Mr. President' says about this.

When will trump travel to China?
