1) Ma has 8% of BABA stock. China is not going to steal Ma's shares or Nationalize Alibaba. 2) The Gov Regulators have already provided Ma with a "Recertification" plan for Ant which consists of five prongs. The most important is to align with a bank to provide reserve funds for any loans and to safeguard consumer personal information and data. The other issues deal with fair trade making sure Ant doesn't favor one online vendor over another.... hardly draconian. $BABA, Alibaba Group Holding Limited / H1 3) Anti Monopoly: China regulators want to prevent sharp's practices such as selling products below market to crush a competitor, safeguarding customers information and data. Avoiding locking vendors from selling on other platforms. All of these were released to the Public in China for COMMENT! None have taken effect but they are all good ideas to help Chinese firms avoid the problems Google and Amazon are having in Europe. Alibaba is expanding rapidly into Asia and Europe. The Chinese gov has no issues with scale or wealth creation, but they want to be seen as Consumer Advocates. With all the name-calling following the Trump Administration, China's broadcasting it's Consumer Advocacy and elimination of Monopoly practices is receiving highly positive global responses. Finally, The government already found an instance where Alibaba failed to meet Compliance in the past. China fined Alibaba $75,000. The Chinese do not use fines as punitive but symbolically to steer compliance. Regulations which China approves will also apply to others such as JP Morgan that are working to provide financial services in China. China wants clear regulations and compliance. One thing China will not tolerate is Shadow Banking. They have spent six years closing it down and in some cases paying for defaults. China feels debt to GDP is the most crucial element of an expanding economy and they do not want recessions which they feel are driven from loose credit and Lehman Bros styled defaults and collapses. China is a savings nation. They save 34% of their income and the US saves less than 2%. China does not want loose credit and speculation which they believe destroy long term stability. Under no circumstance is China trying to attack or Harm its rapidly growing High tech sector. This has elevated the largest economic success ever seen and has moved Hundreds of Millions of Chinese out of poverty. It is the Golden Goose and China wants to make sure that the steady path of growth is sustained. There is no need for faster growth in China; it is fast enough at around 5.6%. China is very good at economic management as removing risk that may result in destabilization.Notes from a user
