Jack Ma appeared in public at a rally held Wednesday, January 20 with teachers in his hometown of Hangzhou. With less teeth than usual, the prodigy said he would devote more time to philanthropy without addressing his supposed dispute with the Chinese state. The Chinese financial market, which has been on the lookout for news of one of its icons for three months, hailed the appearance with a rush on Ali Baba stock, which jumped 11% in Hong Kong.
