As per reports from domestic media outlets, Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, has made a powerful comeback, with his direct engagement in the group's affairs reaching unprecedented heights in the past five years. One significant indicator of this resurgence is Alibaba's sweeping pivot towards the artificial intelligence (AI) sector, coupled with its bold challenge to e-commerce rivals JD.com and Meituan. Since the dawn of this year, Jack Ma has been frequently spotted on Alibaba's campus, with one notable appearance being his visit to the bar located in Alibaba's Zone B on the evening of September 16. Moreover, Alibaba's shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have witnessed a remarkable surge of 5.28%, propelling the stock price to a near four-year peak and restoring the company's market capitalization to HK$3 trillion. Despite these developments, Alibaba has chosen to remain tight-lipped regarding Jack Ma's return to the forefront.
