Jack Ma Anti-Trust Investigation
Dear Readers,
The Chinese government, through the State Administration for Market Regulation, is investigating Alibaba, the top antitrust watchdog said in a statement without further details.
It is an investigation into alleged monopolistic practices at Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and affiliate Ant Group Co.
Leftist Analysis:
Leftists believe that the government should prevent monopolies from arising in an economy.
The decision to investigate Alibaba is to prevent it from becoming a monopoly.
Therefore it is a Leftist investigation.
Rightist Analysis:
Rightists believe that the government should not prevent monopolies from arising in an economy.
The decision to investigate Alibaba is to prevent it from becoming a monopoly.
Therefore it is not a Rightist investigation.
Authoritarian Analysis:
Authoritarians believe that the government should control the activities of private businesses.
This decision is an effort to control the activities of a private decision.
Therefore it is an Authoritarian decision.
Libertarian Analysis:
Libertarians believe that the government should not control the activities of private businesses.
This decision is an effort to control the activities of a private decision.
Therefore it is a Libertarian decision.
My Analysis:
I believe that this decision is just done to control and intimidate Alibaba and its owner and founder Jack Ma. I understand that monopolies can be dangerous. But they also have benefits. I believe that if a company has become a monopoly through fair means without any support from the government then the government should not change it into not being a monopoly.
I disagree with this decision.
This is an Authoritarian Left-wing decision.
Thank you for Reading.
