In today's Net Check we get online reaction to the jailing of one of China's richest men. Huang Guangyu, a school dropout who built China's second biggest home appliance chain Gome into a multibillion-dollar empire was fined $88 million and sentenced to 14 years in prison last week after being convicted of insider trading, bribery and other crimes.
It's a spectacular rise and fall story of a man Chinese press crowned the nation's richest in 2008, with an estimated net worth of $6.3 billion. Later that year he was detained by investigators and accused of bribing five senior tax and police officials, illegally converting $117 million into foreign currency and insider trading that was said to have netted him about $45 million.
The case has of course been making the headlines here – and its being hotly debated on China's blogs and internet forums. Let's cross to the newsroom now where our researcher Emma Wang has been gauging opinion.
