Джек Ма. Его не убили, не посадили... Сделали хуже

How the System Tames Geniuses | What Happened to Jack Ma and Alibaba On October 24, 2020, Jack Ma took the stage in Shanghai – China's richest man, founder of Alibaba and Ant Group. Three days later, his company held the largest IPO in human history. Ten days later, the IPO was canceled. A year later, Jack Ma disappeared from the public eye. What happened between the triumph and the disappearance of one of China's most influential entrepreneurs? In this analysis, I explain how the system tames those who have become too big – bigger than the state. Why Jack Ma wasn't jailed or killed, but instead faced something far worse. And what this story of power, money, and control reveals about each of us. We explore Jack Ma's journey: from English teacher to billionaire, the rise of Alibaba, Taobao, and the Alipay payment system, the conflict with Chinese regulators, the cancellation of Ant Group's IPO, the loss of control over the company, and the "return" of 2025, which turned out to be completely different from what it seemed. This is a story about the price one pays for saying out loud what everyone already knew. My name is Sasha Barin, and this channel is about all of us. About how we got to where we are today—and where we're going next.
