  • Summary

  • Asia isn’t just rising—it’s burning. Beneath the neon-lit skylines, ancient traditions, and billion-dollar economies lies something far more sinister: a world of terror networks, state-backed cybercrime, secret wars, and corruption so deep it swallows entire nations. Governments erase the evidence. The media turns a blind eye. Whistleblowers vanish. But the truth refuses to stay buried.


    This is Asia Informer—the podcast that goes beyond the headlines to expose the cover-ups, crimes, and conspiracies shaping the world’s most complex continent. We follow the money, the bodies, and the lies—unfiltered, uncensored, and fearless.



    The Crimes They Want Erased

    • Pakistan: The Deep State’s Shadow Wars – How the ISI funds terror networks, plays both sides of the war on extremism, and silences those who expose its deadly secrets.
    • China: The Digital Iron Fist – A country where every face is scanned, every citizen tracked, and every dissenter erased—how Beijing turned surveillance into total control.
    • North Korea: The Global Crime Syndicate – Cyber heists, drug trafficking, illegal arms deals—how Kim Jong-un funds his nuclear arsenal by running a mafia state.
    • India’s Billion-Dollar Banking Scams – How political elites and tycoons loot the system, flee to safe havens, and leave the public to suffer.
    • The Sri Lanka Easter Bombings – A devastating attack, ignored intelligence warnings, and whispers of a larger conspiracy—who really wanted chaos, and why?
    • Japan’s Deadliest Cult: Aum Shinrikyo – The sarin gas attack was just the beginning—how close did this doomsday cult come to launching a biological apocalypse?
    • Myanmar’s Military Genocide – Entire ethnic groups wiped out overnight—who profits from the bloodshed, and why do global corporations still do business there?
    • The Philippine Kill Squads – A nation where journalists, activists, and dissenters are gunned down in broad daylight—who’s behind the assassinations?
    • The Thai-Cambodian Killing Fields – Thousands disappear near the border, never to be seen again—are human traffickers or organ harvesters behind it?

    The Cover-Ups That Go Deeper

    • The 1MDB Scandal: The Heist of the Century – How Malaysia’s corrupt elite stole billions, funded Hollywood films, and nearly collapsed an entire economy.
    • China’s Slave Factories – Uyghur concentration camps, forced labor, and Western brands profiting from modern-day slavery.
    • Asia’s Cyber Wars – Covert hacking operations, election interference, and digital blackmail—how India, China, and North Korea are waging silent wars online.
    • Indonesia’s Human Trafficking Rings – Entire villages vanish, swallowed by a billion-dollar slave trade hiding in plain sight.
    • The Cults of Korea – Religious brainwashing, mass suicides, and secret societies with deep political ties—what are they really hiding?


    This isn’t just investigative journalism—it’s a war against the silence. We bring the names, the evidence, and the voices they tried to silence. Verified sources, leaked intelligence, and eyewitness accounts—no spin, no propaganda, just raw, undeniable truth.

    They rewrite history. We expose it.

    They kill to bury their secrets. We dig them up.

    They silence whistleblowers. We amplify their voices.


    This is Asia Informer. The stories they fear. The truth they kill to protect.

  • The Vanishing Billionaire
    Feb 16 2025
    "The Vanishing Billionaire: The Unsolved Mystery of Xiao Jianhua"

    This Asia Informer episode unravels the chilling and mysterious disappearance of Xiao Jianhua, a Chinese-Canadian billionaire who vanished from the Four Seasons Hotel in Hong Kong on January 27, 2017.


    The Rise of a Financial Ghost

    Xiao was a financial prodigy who became one of China’s most powerful businessmen. His Tomorrow Group controlled assets worth $100 billion, and he was deeply intertwined with China’s political elite, managing secret offshore accounts for top Communist Party families. But as Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign intensified, Xiao’s knowledge became a liability.


    The Disappearance

    Despite Hong Kong’s legal autonomy, Xiao was abducted by unidentified operatives and taken to mainland China. No security footage, no official acknowledgment—just a cryptic message on his company’s WeChat account claiming he was “recuperating.” For five years, he vanished without a trace.


    The Crackdown & Cover-Up

    In 2022, a Beijing court sentenced Xiao to 13 years in prison, with his company fined $8.1 billion—but the trial was held in secrecy. His fate echoes the disappearances of other Chinese billionaires, like Jack Ma, Ren Zhiqiang, and Ye Jianming, all of whom crossed invisible lines set by the regime.


    The Bigger Picture

    Xiao’s case is not just about financial crime—it’s about power, secrecy, and the brutal silencing of those who know too much. The episode raises pressing questions:

    • What secrets did Xiao take to the grave?
    • Was he a victim of a larger purge within China’s elite?
    • Is this a warning to other powerful figures who dare challenge the system?

    This hard-hitting investigative piece reveals the dark, hidden economy that sustains China’s ruling class—and the terrifying consequences of stepping out of line.

    In China, those who know too much… never get to tell their story.
