Following internal discussions prompted by the article "Inside DingTalk," Alibaba criticized the management approach within the DingTalk team and made subsequent adjustments. Chen Hang has stepped down from his position as CEO of DingTalk, with Chen Yusen, a tech-savvy professional born in 1992, taking the helm. Chen Yusen is no stranger to the tech scene; he previously founded the cybersecurity firm Chaitin Tech, which was later acquired by Alibaba Cloud.

This strategic move has given rise to innovative products such as Happy Horse, Happy Oyster, MuleRun, and Qoder, while also accelerating the growth of young tech talents. The Alibaba Partnership Committee has underscored that people are the company's most precious asset, Alibaba's future hinges on innovation, and innovation in the AI era thrives on passion and creativity. It further emphasized that only by respecting individual value can customer value be realized and a prosperous future be secured.
