Hey remember in 2017 when Ant tried to get U.S. approval to buy MoneyGram and published a letter in WSJ saying: "while a handful of Chinese state-owned or -affiliated funds own non-controlling minority stakes, they do not participate in company management”https://t.co/CkhB0HDfgh

Beijing could potentially take a larger stake in Mr. Ma’s businesses, as regulators zero in on the billionaire in a campaign to strengthen oversight of an increasingly influential tech sphere. https://t.co/vYFQlH2wR1

No longer China’s most valuable company, Alibaba has erased almost all its stock gains this year, just days after Chinese regulators signaled a change in their posture toward the e-commerce behemoth and its finance affiliate, Ant Group.@keping @xieyuxyhttps://t.co/SZRzPZDbFL

I disagree with the framing that China’s regulatory actions are an ‘attack on Jack Ma’ or general entrepreneurship. Granted, US regulators would never take these kinds of aggressive steps, but that partially explains why the US is an oligarchy. https://t.co/t3oJ7MKrIS

“The hard part is figuring out “how much of the recent regulatory moves against Ant and Alibaba is politically based, how far it will go, and when it will be over,” https://t.co/vJSJGQ12Bh

Let this be a warning to ALL those believe the government (rather than the market) should choose winners & losers in business.

Fresh out the oven: Beijing is seeking to shrink Jack Ma’s technology and financial empire and potentially take a larger stake in his businesses, according to Chinese officials and government advisers familiar with the matter. The latest from @Lingling_Weihttps://t.co/1skoUIgCsn

Two months ago, investors were on the cusp of a massive windfall from what would have been the world's largest IPO.

Now, the hundreds of millions of dollars invested with Ant Group are in jeopardy after China ordered the company to return to its roots.https://t.co/cOVnQhgeN6

Investing in Ant Group was seen as a sure bet, the private rounds were heavily oversubscribed and allocations rationed.

Now, China’s actions against Ant will deprecate the value of this business substantially. https://t.co/cIK6jJ7HdS

アリババへの投資は中長期的にも見通しが厳しそうです。

アリババ傘下のアントが銀行並みの規制下に置かれた場合、成長率が極めて鈍化し、個人投資や個人貸付のサービスの大半が吹き飛ぶかもしれません。
