- The sudden cancellation of Ant Group’s IPO shocked investors, but Beijing's slapdown of Jack Ma was years in the making. And Alibaba and Ant aren't the only tech firms under scrutiny by Chinese regulators.

Why would we proletariats have sympathy to capitalists? They have exploited enough from us, and it's time for them to pay.

Oh yeah? What happened to Meng Wanzhou? The West lost patience with non White success?
In short Jackie Ma was humbly reminded he is in China.
Hubris has no borders.
Yup where elites can't rule over the majority
No he got humbly reminded that he can't mask a what is essentially a bank as a tech company
@@Wah1d145 lol the problem here is thinking that people in government aren't elites as well. The problem is only the government can be elite.
Can't get that sweet sweet chinese money without following regulations.
Lol. Trying to find Jack Ma by knocking an old door of an apartment because he used to live there. Of course, with his wealth, we expect to find him living in an old condo with neighbours above and below, and also no security so that reporters can knock on his door.
I know right?
Imagine getting loan from apple and microsft instead of the official banks.. thats what the whole problem.
LOL and calling him by his birth name "Jack"
Bloomberg are funny....
Jack has got a giant brain..
GIANT BRAIN folks need to be appreciated and allowed to explore all options by their respective Governments
"Woking from 9 to 9, 6 days a week is a blessing" is what he said. He actually forced his workers to do that. Because if you don't do that, someone else will. Then you are fired.
that mean they work 12 hour a day and 72 a week? I hope they pay well
Well he isn't wrong.
What an exploitative capitalist! Workers of the world, unite!
@@jaddytheteenblogger slavery is wrong.
Just think about how asian use the culture of dedication like Japan or China as a philosophy to brain wash people, telling them not to lazy so they can manipulate to exploit and milk people easier via contracts and their fanacial problems, this is the look from 3rd person. You would feel nothing if you were a part of their community, it's just another usuall days for these people, work hard and die early, as long the money is worth to their life, they will keep risking their life, like Squid Game on Netflix. After all, industry is a monster, and the monster is stronger with CCP buff.
"Working from 9 to 9, 6 days a week, is a blessing." - Jack Ma
Yes he really said that.
He might be one of the richest in Chinese history, but people will remember his name differently.
Make me rich wagy
yes, he did say that, and in china ali has a code name as blessing factory for that words.
Didnt he later said he doesnt support this idea but respect the people who chose to do it ?
For him,brute force his way toward success is the only way he can actually achieve his success,in his early days as a ceo,the market was very volatile,so there is no rest for him and his group,the same goes for other big companies around the world at that time
@@nolongerhuman9809 how do think billionaires get to be billionaires
I burst into laughter when I saw him knocking on that old apartment door. do you really think there's a chance that he lives there? Out of so many mansions he has? And you ask "Jack, are you there?" in English. Jee
Haha for real.
He got an mansion in lake placid New York, I guess they will have a better chance if they knock the door there instead of flying to somewhere ten thousands miles away

Yea, no way he lives in that apartment with such gloomy narrow aisle. And no body guards? I bet that apartment was where the man who knocked the door lived.

"Bend the knee or be broken" is pretty much how all power works, the problem is who controls it. In China it's politicians, in the US it's corporations.
Eh there is a nuance, really simplified. In the USA u have loud opposition of corporations (communists, socialists, social democrats are all open). In China u arent allowed to oppose. And don’t forget tiannemen square. Nothing of that caliber ever happened in the Usa in modern history
@@demanhemzelf4431 I guess you're right but also the opposition in the US are only allowed as long as they are ineffectual.

There's a fundamental difference between how China and US operates. In America, Money gives you Power; in China, Power gets you Money. No matter how wealthy you are in China, without the political backing you are nothing. Whereas in the US, no matter how capable you are as a politician, without the support of major donors to finance you, you wouldn't get very far either.
Although another key difference is the one party system vs. multi-party, in China, if you lose a political battle you often find yourself in jail or losing everything you built; in America losing one battle usually just means you need to prepare better for the next one, they don't look to end your career.
Yes in China all money and real estate belongs to communist party and can be confiscated upon any whim of some of its members. Why stock market is bad investment there
@@bestintentions6089 I mean, if you're a foreigner the PRChinese won't even allow you to invest in there...
Yup. America is the land of second chances. Get beat, pick yourself back up and make a name for yourself. Even with the flawed structure of “more money=more power”, anyone can become rich and powerful.
With China, you make a mistake and its off to the gulag. Everything in your life is dictated by bureaucratic elites and your only way up is not crossing them. Much less opportunity.
@@bestintentions6089 There is basically no stock market in China with the exceptions of maybe some very large multinational companies and the money and real estate dont' "belong" to the CCP. Anyone can hold it similar to America, you just dont "own" 'it

He hasn’t learnt a thing from the 2008 financial crisis as irresponsible lending is exactly what he is promoting in China. He knows if he create a financial crisis in China, it’s the government who will have to pick up his mess!! He said that the regulators acted like “pawn shops” because they want you to put actual collateral on the line for the astronomical amount of money he wants to borrow!! Isn’t that what called responsible lending?
The CCP regime will fall, will see to it.
look at what they do to 'their people' and imagine what they would do to 'not their people'.
The Obamas' American Factory documentary lets us glimpse into the future. They're already buying factories here and installing foreign management.

I am more worried about the mental health of the guy who expected to see a billionaire by simply knocking his old apartment's door while calling him Jack than Jack Ma himself.
hes probably a friend or so
I JackMaSelf
Time stamp?
Jack is not a royal, he is just a civilian, a rich one, u can call him whatever u want
what are you even talking about
10:25 Respect to the reporter doing his research and pronouncing these correct.
From what Ive heard, Jack Ma’s new Ant Group was trying to offer a financial service with effects very similar to subprime mortgage. It had the potential to cause a economical issue. This was the reason that the Chinese government suspended its IPO
If the CCP didn't intervene it could literally create the next 2008 financial crisis. So yeah suspending the IPO was definitely the right call, although it was just done in a rather "Chinese fashion."
did Bloomberg send a comedian to knock Jack's door? that's soooo funny
😂
I laughed my arse off when I saw the guy knock on an old door of a somewhat run-down apartment as if he lived there, to top it off - he even calls him by his first name as if they were childhood buddies. Trying to impress us lol.
When the network tells you to record a clip, you do what you gotta do to get paid. I even saw a guy interviewing a homeless man just to get an interview on air.
🤣
@@JackIsNotInTheBox but if jack is not in the box, where is he?
That’s also funny. We all know that he’s not at his apartment for sure, because this abrupt IPO suspension drove major investors and the board of ant crazy - basically he broke the financial freedom dreams of lots of people. This is basically the funniest piece in the video.
🍷😆.. LOL , Sorry Jack Ma just left the building. Try the golf course or the resort.
Had he waited for his ipo to become public, he would have had more influence I would imagine
and more risks we could imagine, take finacial crisis of 2008 as an example, that's why he must be a goner.
12:20 they might not have killed him, but that's the look of a man who isn't living anymore
He was sent to one of their camps for "Re education" :)
In China billionaires can’t just pay lawfirms to bend the rules. They just get regulated. And that’s the same behavior these companies show on the market. They crush small upcoming businesses with their monopolies. I think it’s awesome.
@@youarenotassmartasyouthink5587 lol no bro its always politically motivated. Ccp is mad corrupt all around.

Many private rich individuals forget how powerful even the smallest government is.
Is it so terrible that giant private corporations are regulated? In the US they're not and a few people were able to legally cause a huge recession in 2008 for their own profit.
Private business runs our government in America. We need to learn from Chinese about capping big business and making them work in the interest of America. CCP are better Capitalists than US Gov
@@dustywaxhead I worked and lived in Northern China for several years. Regulated capitalism isn't as bad as the western media and politicians make out. It simply prevents a s,all group of people from destroying the economy and becoming more powerful than the government elected by the people. We already know where the next recession and stock market crash will come from.

@@milan.2412 While I don't believe in the communism the soviets and chinese practised in the past, what that did was create competition for liberal democracy and capitalism. It made sure capitalism provided a higher floor for the 99% thanks to labour unions and pensions, and a low ceiling on the elites like CEO pay. Hopefully China gives the elites of the world a run for their money and that they start serving the people that contributed to their wealth.
Seriously?
"Bend the knee or get broken." In the US, that conversation goes the other way. The IT behemoths say to Government: "Bend the knee or get broken."
I do not see anything wrong with limiting monopolies expandature, and allow others to compete. Monopolies, among other things, can become inefficient, they can cause abuse of power, low payroll, high cost products and low quality of service and product. Basically the little guy has no choice, take it or leave it situation.
It's not limiting monopolies .. it's no monopolies at all. Think everyone world wide understand that all too well. There are to be no monopolies is the law world over.

Your criticism of the CCP is pretty dumb. It's a government's job to make sure people don't create monopolies and chokehold the economy. The CCP is actually doing the right thing here.
When a company goes monopoly, it will put the people's interest last. If the capital controls a country's decision making, it will also put the people's interest last. US has shown the world that, so the world needs to learn.
China is BASED
It seems he has reversed his own ideology, "Be the lover of government but don't marry them". He got married and suffered domestic violence at last!
if he has no family maybe he could tell more real exciting stories about his life and his empire. but he got family so he can't be the man he wanted to be.
The core reason is: in China, a businessman can have a lot of money, but he can't have too much power, especially he has too much control over national policies. Ma Yun's influence on the country is too strong, so he will almost certainly be weakened
not that complex. he just cant hold his greedy on money - if you have any knowledge of his loan business - besides, his ambition expanded infinitely, even tried to change china's banking industry. thats madness

Did someone notice as well that Ant Group only uses 2% of their own money to lend out to tiny business and individuals per its platform and 98% of lending money came from state banks? Ant Group and it’s ownership will be the biggest winner of IPO if possible. Highest leverage and biggest risk would be left to state banks. Insane to the whole society !!! Fortunately, this IPO was pending on time to be adjusted until to be adhere to laws.
Of course we did notice, that's the whole point, Amy😉
@@MrLeiduowen That IS the whole point. Ant Group exploited the regulatory loop holes to grow, and piled up huge risks to state banks. The government realized this before its IPO and called timeout.

Jack Ma's Famous Quote/Pearls of Wisdom for Young People in China (2020 Version):
1. "Who are you"
2. "What are you guys doing"
3. "Where are you taking me"
"To the Uyghurs -concentration- reeducation camps"

@@robbieaulia6462 did you ever been in Xinjiang?
@@nomennescio3677 Logical fallacy. By same logic you can ask “Did you ever been to concentration camps in Germany?” to someone reading the newspaper in 1945.
@@workerworker7961 you know difference between that two things are i have been in Xinjiang and i didn't see any genocide back in 2019 when i have been there.
@@nomennescio3677 Do you know how big Xinjiang is? Have you covered every single area and visited every town, village, city?
You show that you have a Westerner mindset: you think that if you visit a town in a region of the world, that you know that region of the world well and can say to anyone “I know everything about that place”.
The one-party-China CCCP fines the company for "monopolistic practices"🤣
Are they wrong to do so?
Irony
Zinger!
@@r.walcott6239 it’s the biggest monopoly in the world telling small companies “hey don’t do that!”
Insanely ironic
@@r.walcott6239 No they aren't, but since they're doing it themselves it's called hypocrisy
I liked the ending: 'bend the knee...or Drakaris!' :)
As much as I usually disagree with China's actions, this is a move that had me nodding. Someone has got to go after these rich untouchables.
Except ma's power and money falls into insignificance compared with the CCP Mafia. It's simply about shutting down political opposition.
If one company is too powerful in China, it is too high of risk for corruptions and we want to avoid that - in America it is lobbying, which is legal corruption
@@mengwu1113 then again, we are talking about an unopposed, unelected, ruling elite, so I am sure there is no corruption in China.
@@tensevo Did I say there was no corruption in china? No, you don't need to put words in other people's mouths. Im reasonable. Where there are humans, there will be corruption.
when you thought you can buy the whole country with money, just realized later that money can't buy power...
Money can buy power, it's just that the CCP had more of both over Ma.
CCP have all the power, they systematically shut down political dissent and opposition.
"Because Alibaba only funded about 2% of these loans, and the rest of those loans were securitized by the state banks, they took on the big risks." Don't you think it should be controlled?
yup it should be. But because it is not US, these western propaganda machine will sell it like they want.
That's one aspect of Ant Group that I absolutely agree with the Chinese financial regulators on, because companies shouldn't be able to have their cake and eat it too. HOWEVER, let's not let one detail of the story obfuscate its overall reporting, which is that the CPC state doesn't like a non-card-carrying individual becoming so powerful.
@@KnarfStein Bull. They encourage everybody to be succesfull. I once read of Deng Xiao Ping saying this, because when one succeeds, you know the saying, "A rising tide lifts all boats"? When a company succeeds, it adds to the betterment of the economy. There is only one the chinese government asks, don't do anything against the government.
It sure needs to be controlled
We have enough of that in the west.
We need a rising tide that lifts all boats
We can see the damage by big tech in the west
It's the same in every country. If you're rich, you think you can control the country. I guess they shut Jack Ma down in this case. Is this what they called 'unfettered capitalism'?
My heart weeps for these mega-billionaires.
same, so sad. poor billionaires. thats why its always so touching when a super billionaire reaches his dreams.
The issue is, only the CCP officials are allowed money and power in China.
love your sense of humor hahahaha
The lady who said: "This is a watershed moment... " had a fantastic grasp of the whole issue. Sorry her name was not mentioned.
12:21 “Jack, if you’re in trouble, blink three times.”
Jack Ma is the Mark Zuckerberg of China. Those people get what is coming for them.
I’m the only one who realizes he was breaking existing banking regulations before giving the infamous speech? Isn’t it possible China is simply enforcing its existing rules?
Yes, you are right. But that is not what medias want you to realize.
not giving us the people full information, can be consider as information manipulation
Finally someone smart and not just bashing the government.
You might be right, but unfortunately it will always seem a bit hypocritical for a one party state to take measures for monopoly practices in a company. Also, so many other billionaires or other celebrities have disappeared. Many suspect Xi himself doesn't want to be overshadowed by anyone at all, and strongly dislikes criticism instead of facing or addressing them.
But yeah... Markets do need regulations. whether many of us admit it or not.
@@misslabellekitty1298 why do people always blame Xi. Is this a thing? He has to run a country not run for popularity contest. Famous people commit crime too. It’s the police and court they deal with. Not Xi.
He said things that made CCP NOT happy, China is bigger North Korea, you have to act what government wants
Like one of my favorite RUclipsrs said, the risks are carried by commercial banks, the benefits gained by Ant group. This ant's creative innovation kills elephants.
Jack always says he fights for the "small/little" guys, but he really helped a bunch of big guys making big money. He should now practice what he always preaches, and help the little & poor guys in the remote and rural area.
It looks like he has turned around and is now helping poorer rural area people get a leg up. That's noble.
Some hole digging and planting rice - a bit of labour never hurt anyone.
Moral: Dont try to outshine Winnie the Pooh
A remarkable revelation.
Thanks
They literally shut him up...
Lol he probably hung around with other western billionaires and picked up their complaining habits that is not acceptable in China
@@abdiganiaden it is the communist party is unacceptable, illegal junta they are
@@bestintentions6089 lol..China has 800+ billionaires and over 1000 millionaires created daily the last 10 years. This is a huge issue for western powers that they started a media war. Communism China is less communist than any western countries. Reality hurts. In China there is a one party system that is called "communist", but it is a functional Confucianist dictatorship. Go to China travel a little and unless you are blind and deaf you will understand all the BS you are fed from media is just BS.
Because china doest let powerful rich men control the narrative
@@scolaclkh5281 yes it lets friends of dictators do that , not self made people.
"Practically over" that is quite the sweeping statement
western media bias exeggeration, china will collapse in xx years, china this china that

Typical western media bias. Twenty years ago, internet tech just started, but now monopolies are existent and there’s a need for a better and fair environment. Government intervention to prevent behemoths like Alibaba from stiffening competitions is necessary.
I was amazed by Jack Ma's office buildings. It looks like they came from the future
"Jack, are you there?" Hahahahaha that dude has issues.
XD
I mean in fairness to the dude , his bosses sent him all the way to China , need some sort of shot
hahahahha exactly… it’s probably their random airbnb apartment unit that’ll eventually be expensed as one of the trip items. I mean can you just knock on Jeff Bezos’ or Zuckerberg’s residence? This is more like a comedy bit.
i was expecting to hear "No I'm not"....it would be pleased to see him living in an apartment worse than mine, honestly is there any nut in the world believe this except the producer????
07:19 "...And he did NOT read the room very well..." Haha. It is the EXACT opposite. Jack Ma UNDERSTOOD the audience in the room SO WELL that he executed his critics.
If you are doing business that banks do, shouldn't you meet the requirements similar to banks? And in June, Jack Ma was telling the regulators that HE should be exempted from regulations. And why Ma talked about this before And's IPO? I thought it's clear enough.
USA should do this to amazon
Lol “laying low”
My guy is MISSING.
He's laying underground
Really a western reporter went to knock on Jacks apartment that he lived in 1995. You would really expect to find him there with all that money he got?🤣. Western journalism is amazing😂
Don’t think that was a journalist.
My brother,he is enjoying life all over the world.
Actually, as a college student, I like that. People always underestimate the harmfulness of unregulated small loaners. some college students, which has happened frequently, do not have the ability to pay for what they spend. So to pay back the loan to Alibaba, they borrow money from loanshark. This really caused many tragedies to happen. After all, those parents are really mad and go to Beijing and blamed on the government, some even did some aggressive reation.
And putting all the risk on banks too lol recipe for disaster
Jack Ma: you should feel happy to work for the company from 9AM to 9PM and 6 days a week, meanwhile I will offer microloans to everyone for an 18% interest rate.
LOL.Cruel truth is your blessing.
this reminds me of a saying on a bill board at my work "A government big enough to give you everything is also big enough to take away everything."
oh are you afraid the government is going to take away your trillion dollar corporation?
@@lachlanstanding7386 no he’s afraid “ThE g0vErNmEnT g0n tAkE hiS GUnS!!1!”
mans also popularized 996. this man ruined employment.
He's an inspiration!
I lost patience with Jack Ma when he appeared in a movie as a martial artist.
He was just tryna have fun 😂☺️
Man jusy following da dream

Um, what movie?
