He did it so his dad can pardon him on the way out...
Not just $10k per month, HK also has no income tax, so take home pay was equivilant to someone making $170k a year in US.
But as they said, he didnt get a pay cut, he was overpaid in HK, and $40k is what he really deserves, and he's right

Are the Malaysians Chinese or Malay?
Also, don't be distracted in your studies, and best wishes to you.
Back in the very early days of the pivot and trade war, the U.S. would instigate its other Five Eyes vassals to start trade wars with China knowing that U.S. companies would benefit (not unlike the Russia sanctions and Europe situation) because China had nowhere else to turn but to the U.S. for canola, poultry, etc.
Now, with BRI and Africa and Russia, China can simply purchase iron ore, gold, rapeseed oil, canola oil from these nations and simply ignore the anglosphere. If you imagine the five eyes are being ruled by an oligarchy of Anglo Zionists who are transnational, they don’t care if China sanctions Australia as American producers will be the ones to fill in the gap and they get paid anyhow. Now? With BRI and BRICS, you can kiss that shell game goodbye.
Effectively , there is now to be a China-Africa free trade area, not unlike China and asean. I don’t think I need to elaborate just how consequential this is, and how silent the western media has been about this.
RED ALERT; Telegram is now compromised.
Their CEO basically admitted to it without saying it

Thanks everyone for your support and love!Last month I got interviewed by police for 4 days after arriving in Paris. I was told I may be personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram, because the French authorities didn’t receive responses from Telegram.
This was surprising for several reasons:
1. Telegram has an official representative in the EU that accepts and replies to EU requests. Its email address has been publicly available for anyone in the EU who googles “Telegram EU address for law enforcement”.
2. The French authorities had numerous ways to reach me to request assistance. As a French citizen, I was a frequent guest at the French consulate in Dubai. A while ago, when asked, I personally helped them establish a hotline with Telegram to deal with the threat of terrorism in France.
3. If a country is unhappy with an internet service, the established practice is to start a legal action against the service itself. Using laws from the pre-smartphone era to charge a CEO with crimes committed by third parties on the platform he manages is a misguided approach. Building technology is hard enough as it is. No innovator will ever build new tools if they know they can be personally held responsible for potential abuse of those tools.
Establishing the right balance between privacy and security is not easy. You have to reconcile privacy laws with law enforcement requirements, and local laws with EU laws. You have to take into account technological limitations. As a platform, you want your processes to be consistent globally, while also ensuring they are not abused in countries with weak rule of law. We’ve been committed to engaging with regulators to find the right balance. Yes, we stand by our principles: our experience is shaped by our mission to protect our users in authoritarian regimes. But we’ve always been open to dialogue.
Sometimes we can’t agree with a country’s regulator on the right balance between privacy and security. In those cases, we are ready to leave that country. We've done it many times. When Russia demanded we hand over “encryption keys” to enable surveillance, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Russia. When Iran demanded we block channels of peaceful protesters, we refused — and Telegram got banned in Iran. We are prepared to leave markets that aren’t compatible with our principles, because we are not doing this for money. We are driven by the intention to bring good and defend the basic rights of people, particularly in places where these rights are violated.
All of that does not mean Telegram is perfect. Even the fact that authorities could be confused by where to send requests is something that we should improve. But the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day. We publish daily transparency reports (like this or this ). We have direct hotlines with NGOs to process urgent moderation requests faster.
However, we hear voices saying that it’s not enough. Telegram’s abrupt increase in user count to 950M caused growing pains that made it easier for criminals to abuse our platform. That’s why I made it my personal goal to ensure we significantly improve things in this regard. We’ve already started that process internally, and I will share more details on our progress with you very soon.
I hope that the events of August will result in making Telegram — and the social networking industry as a whole — safer and stronger. Thanks again for your love and memes """
At this point the moment the US does that it's fate will be sealed like that of Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan, and it will become increasingly apparent in the near future.

Analysis of the aftermath video from someone with a Swedish speaking friend:
Imagine getting bombed by a pair of Iskander while in the middle of a meeting then bleeding out because someone decides to buy 8RMB tourniquets from AliExpress and pocket the medical funds.
