Gravitas: Why is Xi Jinping going after Jack Ma?

Despite record sales on Singles' Day, Alibaba's shares plunged 10%. This massive sell-off was triggered by fears that Alibaba founder Jack Ma is losing favour with Beijing. Why is Xi Jinping targeting the poster boy of the Chinese tech industry? WION's Palki Sharma has more.

Xi jinping is a puppet of the ccp, just like carrie lam of hong kong. They are just representatives but are not the masterminds of the evil acts and numerous human rights violations.

In Zhenjiang province, Jack Ma’s home, the entrepreneurs made a lot of money and sometimes a bit too much for the communist party’s liking. Entrepreneurs in the region were often arrested sometimes for very long. It is said that these entrepreneurs despite being billionaires would still carry a toothbrush and some toothpaste whenever they went for a meeting with the CCP party members so that in the event of an arrest they’d atleast have a toothbrush while locked down. My point is that despite the Chinese being hardworkers their system and government continues to fail them or crush them. Jack too will eventually fall. I’ve been following him as a kid and even now and read several books about alibaba and how it became a huge company and about its values. Unfortunately, the company isn’t the same without Jack ma as CEO.

See market value is a funny thing, it’s not real or reflects real future of a company so there is no harm done unless there is a shake up in leadership due to a political reason.

[@pankajtekchandani3417]

A lot of loans are tied up to the company's market value. If a drop continues, it can and has created negative impacts out of this. The restructuring business was born out of this mess. So it's a funny thing and it might or might not reflect the companies future but financially speaking, it can very well impact a company

[@jyotiranjanrath7214]

A revolution in China will bring peace to the World I think😂

[@Justwantahover]

The CCP is too clever. Anyone who goes against the CCP will get their relatives in big trouble. Any defector would suffer the same fate. The CCP keeps everyone under control with that policy. Their relatives will die or be purged or jailed. So it's pretty obvious that a revolution is simply not an option.
