Stock Connect and Regulatory Scrutiny: Jack Ma's Message to Alibaba Employees
Stock Connect: A New Era for Alibaba Group
On the 25th anniversary of Alibaba Group Holding, founder Jack Ma encouraged employees to believe in the future and the market amidst increasing competition and challenges. In a letter published on Alibaba’s internal site, he highlighted the idealistic spirit inherent in Alibaba, urging the team to embrace change and innovation as essential components for success.
Facing Competition Head-On
With a resurgent focus on technology and fierce competition across various industries, Ma acknowledged that many of Alibaba's businesses might face the risk of being surpassed. “No company can always stay on top in any field forever,” he reminded.” The pressures of competition should not cause us to lose our way,” he emphasized.
New Opportunities with Stock Connect
Alibaba’s shares have recently joined China’s Stock Connect program, allowing an influx of investment from over 200 million mainland investors. This step is particularly crucial as Alibaba shifts focus and rewards the support from its shareholders.
Regulatory Scrutiny Coming to an End
Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation officially concluded three years of intense regulatory scrutiny, providing a refreshed outlook for one of China's largest tech firms. Though Jack Ma has stepped back from corporate roles, he remains an influential figure in driving Alibaba’s vision.
