Jack Ma has been grumbling about reforms in Hong Kong that eroded the financial pinnacle's lustre. Around christmas he mouthed something about Beijing stifling innovation. That seems to have sealed his fate. I do hope he is battling the virus somewhere above the ground.

Yup. Their biggest threat Trump just drowned in his own puke - Xi is the real king now. I suspect poor Jack Ma is behind bars and will approve a split of the empire before his release. You need to understand the tight state grip on the economy is non-negotiable and the people get it. So long as the Chinese economically gallop ahead noone will revolt.

I expect Alibaba to at least be split up. E-commerce, Alipay, Ant Financial, etc. No big scary giant.
