    Uncle Wen is Uncle Scrooge. He has really been glossed up by China’s state controlled media during his tenure. Absolute power corrupts absolute with his family mafia amassing an unbelievable $2.7 billion fortune since he became PM. Another rags to riches story to add the the CCP annals. Join the party, make a fortune and let the China state media apparatus spin a fairy tale about you as fighting for the poor working man and fighting against CCP corruption. Let the good times roll!Join the party now.
