On August 22, Alibaba unveiled an updated business structure on its official website, consolidating operations into four principal groups: Alibaba China E-commerce Group, Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group, Cloud Intelligence Group, and a catch-all category for 'Other Businesses'. This restructuring marks the definitive end of the previous '1+6+N' organizational framework. Among the notable changes, Ele.me and Taobao Flash Sale have been integrated into the instant retail operations within the China E-commerce Group, while Cainiao Network and Alibaba Digital Media and Entertainment Group now fall under the umbrella of 'Other Businesses'.
