Jack Ma, Alibaba founder, missing after criticizing China

Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, who has not been seen in public for over two months, has also missed appearing on the final episode of his own talent show, Africa’s Business Heroes. In October 2020, Ma criticized China’s ’pawnshop’ financial regulators and state-owned banks, and said China’s regulating system was stifling innovation. Recently, China launched an antitrust probe against Alibaba.
