Jack Ma to Retire from Alibaba

Re:Jack Ma to Retire from Alibaba by vincvinc on Saturday September 08, 2018 @10:19AM (#17940919)

> An Alibaba spokesman said Ma remains the company’s executive chairman and will provide transition plans over a significant period of time, contrary to a New York Times article that said he was “stepping down” to “retire.” The Times story was taken out of context, and factually wrong, the spokesman said.

Does it surprise you that The NY Times took something out of context and provided factually false info?

It's their bread and butter. Sticking to the truth is tedious and gets fewer clicks than tabloid-style soap opera, so why bother?

Not in the least. But they are the preferred "news" provider here and get spammed 24/7.

Retiring or not, he still is one of the riches man on the ASIA and will spend many years spending what he earned and that folks is a stone cold fact. So much for retirement money huh?
