VOA spoke Monday with observers who proposed a somewhat different interpretation of events, namely that the CCP is heavily pressuring Ma to hand over the huge amount of valuable data he has accumulated about Alibaba and Ant Group customers, enabling the Chinese government to improve its surveillance and “social credit” systems.

The CCP will get all the info on those sad suckers who bought MVMT watches instead of buying decent Seikos from Long Island Watches.

Well before the cancelled Ant Group IPO, I read that Alibaba had refused to hand over its consumer data to the Chinese government. I thought it was surprising that any Chinese businessesman thought he could get away with such behavior, but Ma Yun did,

Maybe when this is all over Mr. Ma will be a hero for standing up to CCP thugs.

“pressuring”

Uh Huh. As in, “do what we say and like, or not. You’re doing it anyway. Say hi to the Uighars.”
