“China attempts to secure Ant Group customer information”… Ma-win is robbed of disappearances

Alibaba’s founder Ma Yun, who was caught in the “ghost crime” of the Chinese authorities, has not appeared in the official statue for more than two months, and various observations have been pouring out. In the meantime, there are reports that the Chinese authorities are pursuing a plan to secure vast customer credit information accumulated by Alibaba financial affiliates.

Regarding the’Machine’s disappearance’, CNBC, an American economic media, reported on the 5th (local time), citing a source, that “Chinese billionaire Ma Yun is only lowering himself for a while, but not missing.” The media said, “Ma Yun seems to be staying in Hangzhou, where Alibaba’s headquarters are located,” and said, “Since past remarks became hated by the Chinese authorities, they are refraining from activities to avoid further conflict.”

Ma Yun disappeared right after he made a statement criticizing the Chinese authorities at a financial forum held last year. He attended the Shanghai Bund Financial Summit on October 24 and said, “The Chinese government is suppressing innovation.” “Just as you can’t manage an airport the way you manage a train station, you can’t manage the future in the same way as the past.”Said. At that time, in the auditorium, the current regime’s real powers, such as Vice-President Wang Chi-san, the closest aide to State President Xi Jinping, were sitting.

After that, the Chinese financial authorities poured a hard-line sanction on him and Ant Group, a fintech subsidiary of Alibaba Group. Ant Group’s IPO, which was expected to be worth $37 billion (40 trillion KRW) in November last year, was suddenly stopped. Ma Yun did not attend even when the government summoned the management of Ant Group, an operator of Alipay on December 26 last year. On the 2nd, Telegraph said, “Mawin, who appeared on the TV show’African Corporate Hero’, suddenly got off during filming.” Ma’s seat, who appeared in the first episode of the program, was suddenly replaced by another Alibaba executive before the final.

Meanwhile, Chinese regulators are considering measures to bring out Ant Group consumer credit information, which Ma Yun has not cooperated with for several years, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 5th. WSJ said, “The People’s Bank (Central Bank of China) is considering making it mandatory to provide Ant Group data to the nationwide credit information system, or to share Ant Group information with credit rating companies that are actually controlled by the People’s Bank. I said.

In 2018, the Chinese government created a personal credit information company at the level of the People’s Bank and requested customer credit data from related companies such as Ant Group and Tencent, but this was not achieved due to Ant Group’s rejection. Ant Group, known to have an 80% stake in Ma, has independently operated customer credit information generated from Alipay, an electronic payment app used by more than 1 billion people, and loan services used by 500 million people. Authorities will make it a cause for Marwin to monopolize consumer credit data.

On the other hand, Duncan Clark, CEO of BDA China, a Chinese investment advisory company, said, “In the current situation, it is not helpful for Alibaba to have a different opinion (from the government). Told CNN.
