The man is a product of his country. If you'd like to show me where Chinese workers make as much as they made working for Jack Ma, and for shorter hours, I'd be interested to see it. It doesn't exist.
The government in China, while marginalizing figures like Ma, have done nothing but encourage the status quo. At least Ma challenged it.
If the CCP had not liberalized 30-ish years ago, sure, we'd have no Jack Ma. But we'd have no modern China either, would we?
Clearly, we have a long way to go towards life being livable in a place like China for the average person.
- pigsty 4y agoJack Ma could have 10% of his wealth and that much more could be in the pockets of his workers, and he’d still be one of the richest men ever on earth. Plus, knowing people who’ve done 996 in China, they were basically sitting in an office with their brains being numbed by pretending to look busy so they could feed the ego of some insanely rich guy who’d use their hours of life wasted as a talking point for international speeches in which he praises himself. Jack Ma didn’t build China. He’s been out of the country for apparently a long time but things are still trucking along there. So it seems like things would also be fine if he gave a little more back and gave employees an extra hour a day of their life back. And he’s not really a product of his country. Every single country has insanely wealthy people who accumulate their wealth by exploiting those under them. This guy just packed his bags and cowardly ran when the government said it’s time for him to pay something back.
- nomay 4y agoBaba workers are not underpaid, they are the main property speculators.
- chitowneats 4y agoYup, things are really "trucking along" in Xi's China. More like a train wreck IMO.
