What Happened to China's Superstar Entrepreneur Jack Ma? | WSJ

After Jack Ma criticized Chinese regulators, Beijing scuttled the initial public offering of his fintech giant Ant and he largely disappeared from public view. WSJ looks at recent videos of the billionaire to show how he got himself into trouble.

[@itsover9008]

None of the videos actually explain what happened to him. They only explain why the govt stopped the IPO. There are too many comments parroting the same stuff. It looks like intelligent bots. (As if the bots are using GPT-1). Also, their reasoning is flawed. Why would the govt. stop the IPO if they were worried about over-leveraging? They should instead have passed laws against highly leveraged borrowing. IPOs happen after the company has become large enough... which means that whatever risk they are talking about, has already reached a late stage. And they don't mention anything about where he is, why he hasn't shown himself etc.

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

The point itself is definitely valid. Outdated regulations slowdown progress and cost people prosperity.

[@Leto2ndAtreides]

@Ripper Twenty :) You say that as if the US didn't become the strongest country in the world because it produced many of the greatest corporations. Most of the people you see complaints related to, are the people who didn't get educated or decided to learn something useless... You do have to figure out how you're going to give value to the world - in return for what you want to take from the world. Anyway, there is a balance to things. Government can only contribute so much to the leadership of a country, and Jack Ma has been a good leader with good principles. Regulations being outdated and limiting progress is a normal problem and worth complaining about. Unfortunately, politicians in power too often become focused on their own power and priorities, rather than what is healthy for the system going into the future. The path of government dominance is better suited to a world where you largely know what needs to be done, and not one where you need to innovate Not that the Chinese government isn't contributing to progress in China - but it can mostly only contribute to obvious paths of progress where others have already shown what path is worth following. But China isn't going to be behind and able to copy for very much longer. So its systems and form of leadership need to start changing towards more organic and adaptive approaches to progress. ... Which might have happened naturally, but Trump managed to mess up Chinese culture by attacking them, and some of their positive attitude has been damaged... People want to feel more under control and go into more of an "us vs them" mindset when they feel under threat. Which also applies to the Chinese government. So now China is also suffering from more of the US style problem of being divided against itself... Sometimes, the leadership isn't really focusing on the bigger picture (even when they think they are)

There are some pretty funny "Where's Jack" products starting to come out on ebay, etsy, etc.

It's so easy to speculate but time will come and tell us what's the real story behind Jack dissappearance.

Jack Ma, is a good friend of mine. God bless you Jack Ma.

[@user-sl2eu8ho9y]

To be honest, the Chinese do not like Jack Ma. He might pack himself politely in foreign speeches. In China, his internal employees were allowed to compete viciously, and many people lost their hair before their 30s. There are people who die suddenly at work, you don't know these. He encourages overtime and does not pay employees for overtime, and there is no medical protection. Employees are slightly older, or they are dismissed when they get sick, and the employees have no money and die of illness. His approach is trampling on the labor law. The Chinese have long seen him upset, and we feel a bit late for the Chinese government to take action.

[@user-sl2eu8ho9y]

Western media will only oppose China for the sake of anti-China. The Chinese have long disliked Jack Ma. He has violated many laws. But the media likes to say that the CCP oppresses Jack Ma. That Ma Yun oppressed his employees, because he took the lead in trampling labor laws, many companies are also following Ma Yun. These Western media will not report.

[@chinaqa7989]

Ma personally is not a problem, mainly his company's new business may produce a subprime loan crisis!

[@godzillamothra5983]

I admire Jack Ma's vision and his work, but even I feel uncomfortable with how dominant his Alibaba and ANT in China's fintech, and how loose Ma run those two companies, especially ANT which dominate China fintech with few regulations that bind it, unlike the traditional banking. If traditional banking were run like ANT with very few regulations controlling it, then it is a disaster waiting to happen, not unlike Lehman Brothers. It is only great until it crash.

[@lebithu]

agreed

[@derrickchu8201]

Jack Ma denounced Basel Accords foreshadowing his end. An entrepreneur who can do whatever it takes for his own interests, regardless of social justice and the legal system, will not end well in China.

[@christophresmerowski1824]

That's not it. The Communist mobsters were looking for much larger kickbacks.

Jack maa :- speaks against Xi . Xi Jingping:- Jack needs some maintenance 😏😏😏

[@lvjinbin28]

Background introduction: There is a project owned by Jack Ma, called "Huabei". He registered a company called "Ant Finance" with US$1 billion. But through financial leverage, he can provide people with loans of US$200 billion each year. He is going to list this company, and the capital market valued his company at US$2 trillion. The Chinese government believes that his company’s financial risks are too high, and that once the risks arise, they will harm the people who buy stocks, so it prevents the listing. The Chinese government requires Jack Ma to increase the company's registered capital before listing.

[@TheSteinbitt]

@@lvjinbin28 ….so they take away his life and detain him in retrainment gulag, makes sense.

[@acidithiobacillusferrooxid3687]

essentially what he was trying to do with his ant group is exactly the same as what wallstreet people did before 2008 with subprime mortgage

[@ramlansaruan8194]

Back again as a teacher, of course..teaching the basics and the old school things , you know.. Well, everything is going to be alright..alive and kickin.. the Chinese will always need him...still..
