Where is Jack Ma?: Alibaba founder not seen since October as China gets tough with his business

Firstpost  

Beijing: China’s best-known entrepreneur, e-commerce billionaire Jack Ma, made his fortune by taking big risks. “It’s too late to say goodbye.” Spokespeople for Alibaba and Ant didn’t respond to questions about why Ma hasn’t appeared in public. As for Ant, regulators worried it might add to financial risks seen by the ruling party as one of the biggest threats to China’s economic growth. He’s learned his lesson, and that’s why he’s been quiet for the past two months,” said Rein, founder of China Market Research Group. Stock traders in Hong Kong talk about Ma’s disappearance from social media but doubt Alibaba or Ant will be affected, said Kenny Wen of securities firm Everbright Sun Hung Kai.
