Analysis: An attempt to discover what “the wealthiest woman in Vancouver,” Weihong Liu, plans to do with the Tsawwassen shopping centre reveals much more.
Dubbed “the wealthiest woman in Vancouver,” Weihong Liu has for years not talked to the mainstream media about what she has in store for her three new B.C. shopping malls, including Mayfair Centre in Victoria and Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo.
Instead, she strongly criticizes China and some of its functionaries, including for overseeing a stagnant economy and having a lack of “self-criticism.” She says she “runs the risk of getting arrested” in the authoritarian country she left a decade ago. “All the wealthy people who can flee have already left.”
Liu readily acknowledges that in China she was a leading member of many business organizations created by the Communist Party to advance the government’s schemes at home and abroad. While Liu shows respect for Chinese President Xi Jinping and his challenges, she expressed disgust for many Communist Party officials and other billionaires. She describes attempts by some to destroy her as a businesswoman in China, where she mostly ran shopping centres.
Liu breaks down in tears while describing her treatment by other billionaires, one of several times she cries in the recording. The other times are when she graphically describes abuse of her mother by her father, both of whom are dead, and herself. The program includes Liu driving a golf cart through Tsawwassen Mills shopping centre, visiting workers and the food court, where she says, “I don’t like much of the food here.”
