China jailed a billionaire for life. Could India ever do the same?
- China sentenced Evergrande founder Hui Ka Yan to life on August 20 for fraud and bribery, four months after he pleaded guilty.
- His firms were fined $2.3 billion, his assets seized, and over 50 executives including his two sons were jailed.
- India's big corporate fraud cases move far slower — many accused have fled abroad and extradition can take years.
- But China's courts answer to the Communist Party, so speed comes without independent judicial review or real defence.
