Alibaba Group founder Jack Ma has made his first public appearance after close to three months of being out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n
Ma has been out of the spotlight since October after making remarks against Chinese authorities of hampering innovation and criticized the country\u2019s financial regulators particularly banks for having a “pawn shop” mentality.<\/p>\n
After the billionaire\u2019s remarks, state regulators summoned Ma and Ant executives to a meeting and then shelved the scheduled IPO of Ant Group which is supposed to be the biggest public offering in the world.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, Ma was seen on state media video speaking to teachers in rural China as part of a philanthropic event by his foundation.<\/p>\n
