Bloomberg: Jack Ma Emerges for First Time Since Ant, Alibaba Crackdown Jack Ma has resurfaced after months out of public view that fueled intense speculation about the plight of the billionaire grappling with escalating scrutiny over his internet empire. China’s most recognizable entrepreneur addressed teachers via livestream Wednesday during an annual event he hosts to recognize rural educators, according to people familiar with matter. In a video of the event circulated online, Ma talked about how he’ll spend more time on philanthropy. The co-founder of Alibaba and Ant didn’t mention his recent run-ins with Beijing during his address, which was first reported in a local blog. Ant confirmed the authenticity of the video in an email. Alibaba’s shares gained more than 4% in Hong Kong. While it’s still unclear where Ma is, his emergence in a public forum may help quell persistent rumors about his fate while Beijing pursues investigations into online finance titan Ant Group Co. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The executive had kept out of public view since early November, when Chinese regulators torpedoed Ant’s $35 billion IPO, tightened fintech regulations, then ordered an overhaul of Ant and launched a separate antitrust probe into Alibaba -- all in a span of days. “Recently, my colleagues and I have been studying and thinking. We made a firmer resolution to devote ourselves to education philanthropy,” Ma said in the video. “Working hard for rural revitalization and common prosperity is the responsibility for our generation of businessmen.”

马云同学重现江湖，阿里巴巴安全了？明天股票继续涨？
可不， 香港baba 就涨了9%
我一開始就覺得馬雲的面相不怎麼樣
草包們喜歡找這種長相不怎麼樣的當檯面人
嗯，养的白白胖胖
早就没事了，现在是低调，已经谈好了，钱够了就行！
之前没露面说他被官方抓起来了，现在露面了说被官方放出来了，话长在你们嘴上，想怎么造谣就怎么造谣吧，只是满脑子阴谋论真的好吗
我可从来没说过他被抓了。这显然是背后一系列的谈判过程和利益再分配。现在谈得差不多了，再不出来国际上纷纷猜测私人企业家投资者人心惶惶是事实，他得罪了习近平也是事实。没有官方首肯他擅自出来习岂不是更生气？这都是阴谋论是不是太敏感了？
他的生意没官方背景能做这么大？不一直说是白手套吗？还存在净身出户？
又来洗了你。。。
