  • In less than six months, Chinese entrepreneur Jack Ma’s Ant IPO, which could have been the world’s largest, was scuttled and his companies brought in line by regulators. The U.S. is also taking aim at big tech, but here’s how China moves faster. Photo illustration: Sharon Shi

    China actually did a very great job in keeping those companies in line. It is what they needed.
    Apart from the antitrust problems (they are very real), those tech companies in China are exhausting their employees, forcing them working overtime everyday, and/or forced working on weekends. They call it the 996 (9AM-9PM 6Days a week) system. If you quit, there’ll be other people to fill in, if you report the company the company will find you out and make sure you are never employed again in the same city or industry. So it’s not just upsetting the government and the consumers, it’s taking a huge toll on the employees as well. I would say the fine wasn’t big enough considering how much money they are making in China. Consider this a warning shot for those companies.

    In China the role of the government is to protect the national interest (the greater good), this is aligned with the fact that governments have political burden of maintaining social harmony, because if the citizens are angary, they'll blame the government not Jack Ma.
    The Ant Group labels itself as a "Technology" Company, in reality it's a full on bank, lending out loans with a mere 2% cash reserve. The Central government has warned for about a year before the Jack Ma speech, that they will ask the so called "Technology" banks to raise their cash reserves to 20% thus decreasing the financial risk.
    That's why Jack Ma made the speech, it was an REACTION, to the news that the central government is about to regulate his "Technology" company as a bank.
    Hence his speech, So the idea that the Chinese government went for Jack Ma because of the speech is just not true. This narrative is being repeated to paint the Chinese government as this temperamental entity, all to fit the Western narrative about China.

    When Jack Ma made that speech, the IPO is already jeopardized by Chinese new financial regulation on the size of ABS which is widely adopted by Ant Group. In other word, if the regulation is not overturned in days, there will be a disaster for its investor, likely to lose more than half of stock value. Jack Ma either made that speech hoping to overturn the regulation or make himself a scapegoat for the IPO's termination so that some investors in the IPO process can prevent a huge loss (they are likely to be Chinese social security fund and other state-own companies).
    Also, I don't know why finance media in the U.S. never discuss the regulation which is trying to prevent another sub-prime loan crisis.

Can it be because Big tech companies really need to be regulated, for their rapid growth and moves could cause potential risks for a country's economy?
    Ant's loan business cooperates with state-controlled banks, yet the whole burden of getting paid is on the bank's end, because according to Ant's policy, it only provides the platform to the banks and those who want to take loans. Those people usually have very limited means to repay the debt, since most of them are students or low-income earners, on the other side, major profits go to Ant. I mean, Isn't it a huge risk for the stability of the country's economy?

    The Chinese government woke up when it realized that Ant was a defacto banking and credit company that would've have been outside of the watch of the regulators. And that is SUPER important because all you have to do is look at Lehman Brothers brokerage collapse that precipitated the 2008 financial crash. Being a brokerage, Lehman was NOT under banking regulations and was SUPPOSED to be under the regulation of the SEC but the SEC was "regulatory captured" long time ago so Lehman was choked with bad loans and assets and so when subprime snowball started all of Lehman's "house of cards" bad assets were fully exposed.
