Two months after Chinese tech billionaire and founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma came in conflict with President Xi Jinping’s government, he has vanished from the public eye, according to media reports.

According to The Telegraph, UK, he was scheduled to appear as a judge in his own talent show, ‘Africa’s Business Heroes’ but did not turn up. His photographs were also removed from the show’s website.

Ma, who is one of China’s unusually vocal and outspoken tycoons, criticised the Jinping’s government’s financial regulators and state-owned banks in a speech in Shanghai back in October. According to the reports, his speech angered the Chinese government and it led to a clampdown on Alibaba’s business activities.

According to the Wall Street Journal, in November, Beijing suspended $37billion initial public offering of Ma’s Ant Group on the direct order of President Jinping.

The business tycoon was also advised by officials to not leave China before launching an anti-monopoly investigation into his Alibaba Group Holding on Christmas Eve, as per a Bloomberg report. Beijing also ordered Ma’s financial tech company Ant Group to scale back its operations.
