?I want to spread the message in the U.S. that there are good philanthropists in China and not all are crazy spenders on luxury goods,? he told Hong Kong?s South China Morning Post yesterday.
The tycoon, whose past stunts include selling canned air to raise awareness of pollution and smashing a Mercedes-Benz to draw attention to global warming, also hoped to serve as a role model for Chinese billionaires.
He said: ?There are many wealthy Chinese billionaires but most of them gained their wealth from market speculation and colluding with government officials while destroying the environment.
?I can?t bear the sight of it, because all they do is splurge on luxury goods, gambling and prostitution and very few of them sincerely live up their social responsibility.?..
