I don't disagree with your take. Xi isn't going to know everything that's going on.
It's just seems odd that it's a speech (and a relatively benign one from a layman's perspective) that set it all off. This was a world record setting IPO and I can't see China's leadership not knowing about it well in advance considering the international media attention it was getting far before it all blew up.
It just feels like there must be a lot more to the story.
Was Jack told he could have his IPO as long as he kept his mouth shut?
Was there something in the speech that directly contradicted what either Jack was told by leadership? Or what leadership had been telling the Chinese financial industry?
