I think the crackdown taken by the Chinese government with Alibaba is a form of the existence of a regulator on an object that should comply with policy but because it has become a very large multinational company and dominates the Chinese economy, it makes the owner a little arrogant.  Jack Ma's arrogance by offending financial regulators in China made the government even more annoyed.  Their particular case is in a communist country where they have to comply with all existing policies even if they are not in accordance with the company, this is the weakness of the communist socialist economic system.
