Jack Ma, the Chinese billionaire and founder of Alibaba, who is under the scanner of the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has reportedly not been seen in public for several weeks. Reports have led to speculation that Ma could be missing.
Meanwhile, Jack Ma also failed to appear as scheduled in the final episode of his own talent show, Africa’s Business Heroes, which gives budding African entrepreneurs the chance to compete for a slice of US $1.5 million. He last tweeted on 10 October last year.
Jack Ma hasn’t been seen publicly after officials hit back at him following a speech in which he complained at a business conference that China’s regulators and state-run banks are hampering opportunities. “Today’s financial system is the legacy of the Industrial Age,” Ma said in the speech. “We must set up a new one for the next generation and young people. We must reform the current system,” he said.
