Alibaba billionaire Jack Ma is a communist

amsterdam (dft) - Possessing a capital of no less than $ 38 billion and being a communist. That applies to Jack Ma. The wealthy co-founder of Internet store giant Alibaba is a member of the Communist Party in China.

This is evident from a story in a newspaper controlled by the Chinese state, in which the contributions of 'comrade' Ma for the development of the country are praised. Tencent-CEO Pony Ma, Baidu CEO Robin Li, basketball player Yao Ming and volleyball coach Lang Ping are also put in the limelight as part of a celebration that it was 40 years ago that party leader Deng Xiaoping decided to open up China to foreign investors.
