How is this a breakup if Alibaba is just going to become a holding company owning those six new companies?

Perhaps they're transitioning to the Korean "chaebol" model with complex structures of ownership to obscure the true organizational structure?

  The true structure is the government is now the holding entity.

Because it is not breakup, in the same way that the establishment of Alphabet Group was not a breakup. But as it has always been on the U.S.-dominated English-speaking Internet and media, facts and objectiveness do not matter when it comes to any topic related to China. Anyone can twist, spin, or literally invent anything to fit their own narrative about China and people will believe it without question as long as it leans on the antagonizing side.

  The strict law about what can and cannot Chinese say, share, and see online doesn't help this. Yes there are tons of nonsense online about China. But it is not helped by the total dragnet there is over there. And by the fact that some of the over-the-top stuff about China is indeed true. I mean Jack Ma really _was_ disappeared right after the speech.

    Tim Cook or Sundar Pichai also step off the stage after finishing speeches. Does that mean they have been "disappeared"? They have a private life in case you aren't aware. Acknowledging the fact that the CCP is meddling with private sector businesses is not an excuse to spout misinfo.

      jack ma disappeared from the entire world - not a single photo could be found by people legitimately asking where he was. not even a publicist "he's holidaying in this country at the moment" could be had. if he was a reticent person maybe it could be excused but he's been a jet setter for a decade now with tons of social appearances.

      He went missing for months Tim Cook stepped off Trump’s board of CEOs and did not disappear. Jack Dorsey banned Trump from Twitter and didn’t disappear. Elon Musk constantly goes after Biden for no reason. He has not disappeared.
