Jack Ma, Alibaba founder and Chinese billionaire has reportedly gone missing from the public eye for over two months now following his controversial speech in October in which he severely criticised the regulation system of China and called the banks 'pawnshops'.
The vocal and outspoken business tycoon was set to appear as a judge in the final episode of his own talent show, ‘Africa’s Business Heroes’, but mysteriously did not turn up for it and as a consequence, his photographs were removed from the show’s website,
The tech tycoon has not made any public appearance since November 2019. In fact, he did not appear in the final episode of his own talent show, Africa’s Business Heroes, thus deeping the mystery around his whereabouts.
UK’s Telegraph reported that Alibaba founder was supposed to be a part of the judging panel in the November final but he was replaced by an Alibaba executive. Surprisingly, Jack Ma's picture was also removed from the website.
It is being speculated that Jack Ma's wrangle with China's authoritarian regime has led to a crackdown on his business in the country and his disappearance from public space.
