our top corespondeporate story n opening up an anti trust advice into ali baba. eunice yoon is joining us with the details. he probably has to be the most high profile business person in all of china and certainly one of the big esz in tgest in the . what is going on with the campaign against jack ma >> well, china is investigating ali baba's alleged no ma november police tick practices including what is called pick one of two, which is forcing merchants on your site only work with one players a opposed to its separately ant group was also summoneded so this whole idea has been quite common in the market for years. and not only by ali baba, so there has been a lot of questions today as to why it is that we're seeing this investigation. of course a lot of this has to do, at least the speculation is, with jack ma's recently fiery speech where he was highly critical of beijing's regulators and also at a time when president xi jinping has been looking to exert more control over private industry. he said that he planned to prioritize anti-monday no november police tic

you financially group spawn out of ali baba which is one of the world's largest tech companies and it's basically the top leadership is just trying to gain control before you know they're probably most likely i.p.o. in next years i don't expect any long term changes that would set a follow up on the sand financial dail it's an enormous company it's as big as j.p. morgan the biggest bank in the world plus it's spun out of alibaba as you point out jack mosque company which is rivals amazon for global dominance in the retail sector and it's part and parcel of the submerging model in china which i guess one could call their surveillance capitalism where the alley pay which is a very you know phone enabled pay service connected to all the credit service connected and financial connected to the c.c.p. the chinese government gives an extraordinary amount of oversight into people's tick tock. tick tock tick tock tick tock 2nd by 2nd lives they are literally living in the chinese communist party's living room. is that a model ultimately that will sweep the globe and what prevents an financial on

>> well, i think baba is investable in the longer term. i saw an opportunity to get back into it as a trade, purely as a trade. pull up a chair and i'll tell you about jack ma. he acquired this company, a chinese health care company he acquired through baba and also personally so you can't trust jack mah. if it's a great company buy it all with alibaba don't y additionally the fact that the chinese are taking more of an interest, a communist country taking more of an interest in the company and ownership doesn't mean it's going to drive their company to the tops of capitalism, it's going to be less. >> you're making the case for why would you even play -- you're making the case why would you even play in the sand box? there's like 10,000 other stocks >> i'm going to be there very short time already making money on the trade. but i had some excess capital. i see an opportunity so i'm buying it for a trade. as i said, i don't think chinese companies, and i've sued them in court in cayman are sustainable quality investments for anybody, and w

e-commerce and you will still trying to do that 24 hours a lot of this that's all done through the ali baba eat financial you know payment system they do have a view on everything but they started to get credit micro credit out to people and it quickly became the largest creditor in the world i mean they have hundreds of billions of dollars in loans out there they can authorize your loan in 3 seconds i mean they have all your credit history they have algorithms that know if you're going to pay it back or not and they have some of the most sophisticated. algorithms around that space that even companies in the west return a hero how these guys are doing the right sound so in america to access credit to do a leveraged buyout if air let's say mitt romney over there at bain capital you can get the money in 3 seconds and then charges a. percent but the rest of america they go to a payday lender they're charged 3000 percent so china saying well why don't we just extend the same terms of bank capital gad's to our citizens and let them elevate the entire country never all get rich and. you know the
