  1. 4:58 take it from me it is simply impossible for Alipay to even think about coming to India first if all UPI which is more than enough to kill it but even if it manages to bypass it the sentiments of Indians will never let Alipay to expand in India thirdly government will simply ban it just like the US.

  2. Why the Chinese Government gotta be always acting paranoid like a single man can take away their power…let this genius Jack Ma be and make the wrld a better place ‼️‼️

  3. PLANET OF THE ANTS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ANTMA SPEECH..
    ……..BEST…….👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

  4. I always thought Alibaba was a stolen idea, as baidu and weeibo are also stolen ideas. All china is good at doing is stealing others ideas. Funny thing is none of these so called amazing companies seem to go international. If you bring up tik tok, fair point but it seems it may be banned like western social media is in China…

  5. BREAKING NEWS, Ant Group's IPO has been suspended. Jack Ma obviously criticized the PRC's regime for hindering innovation, now the IPO is off the table. Isn't the “Chinese model” of authoritarianism great? Much better than those chaotic democracies?

  6. the Chinese government backed jack maa in his every business adventure. he's very loyal to the Corrupt Communist CCP. if you're investing in any of his business you're investing in the killing of Uighurs and Tortures of Tibetans.
