For the last point of people who got rich during nineties by embezzlement, here's a relatively prominent case: Vancouver's ex mayor's ex girlfriend's mother. She was alleged embezzled 350 million rmb yuan which was supposed to be the compensation for factory workers[1]. When many of the state owned factories became privatized during nineties, many many workers lost their jobs and they needed those compensations desperately. (There's a quite good movie depicting the lives of those people called the Piano in a Factory[2]). Anyway my point is not all people who fled mainland China are freedom fighters.
