Jack Ma, the founder of China's biggest e-commerce empire, Alibaba, also the actual controller of Ant Group, China's biggest internet finance company, has disappeared from the public since late October 2020.
The world's biggest IPO of his Ant Group was adjourned at the last minute by China's regulators, and millions of investors are eager to know what went wrong behind that.
Before the suspension of the IPO, China Mainland's investors in Shanghai's KSE market had put over 19 trillion RMB, the equivalent of over 2.7 trillion US dollars, to subscribe to Ant Group shares, 870 times more than the stock's offering in Shanghai. In Hong Kong, 1.55 million investors, about 20% of Hong Kong's population, had launched subscriptions for 1.3 trillion Hong Kong dollars, an equivalent of over 167 billion US dollars, for the Ant Group IPO, 394 times more than the offering in Hong Kong stock market.
If Ant Group's shares were listed successfully, Jack Ma should have been one of the wealthiest people in the world, if not the richest one, but China's regulators dealt him a fatal blow just 2 days before the shares were supposedly put on open Markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong.
on October 24, two days after Ant Group's IPO was approved, Jack Ma delivered a speech at the bund summit in Shanghai, criticizing China's big banks as pawnshops and appealing for loosening control over risk management supervision, for the sake of boosting the innovation economy. That forum was said to be unofficial, but Wang Qi Shan, China's vice-chairman, also showed up. after that speech, he disappeared from the public view, and no one could tell where he is and what he is doing now.
although all his businesses are running well, China's probe into his Alibaba monopoly raised big concerns for the future of his online Utopia.

China is not a capitalist country. In Western nations, wealth can lead to power, even dominant power. But China is following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, under which, capital is the driving force for economic development, but shouldn’t be the source for power. “Plutocracy mentality”

Jack Ma isn't being punished. He can say whatever he wants but it's the Chinese regulators job to make sure that another 2008 financial crisis doesn't happen in China. After all, China's currency doesn't have reserve currency status so China can't afford to print their way out of the problem. If a financial crisis like 2008 happen in China it would devastate the Chinese people.
China didn't spend the last 40 years so Jack Ma could get rich at the expense of all of China.

Good for the authorities to rein him in before more damage done in the monetary realm.

No matter how big an enterprise is, it must operate and expand in line with national laws and regulations. It shouldn’t become arrogant because of its strength and think they enjoy privilege in face of the law.

When you have credit cards given to you by bankers you're asking for trouble. Impulsive spending is going to get you into financial trouble and that's what the banks wanted. Many impulsive spenders eventually have to BEG, BORROW OR STEAL to pay back. China does the right thing. Bravo.

Be careful what you wish for. Jack Ma said he has no interest in money and he got what he wish for. Arrogant narcissist !

Success got into his head till he forgets his humble beginning. Respect to parents and leaders are the main pillars of Chinese Culture.
