wow--this is huge. I am curious how this news will affect other business relations between the Western world and China since Ali Baba is one of China's most recognizable and visible business institutions. A confidence had been built that that will now lead to interesting developments I'm sure. This story is rich though--only by sacking the two most senior uppers could the company attempt to save face.
