Charismatic figure has professorships in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Tel Aviv and Kigali, newspaper says
... [+]Alibaba Group’s billionaire main founder Jack Ma, who earlier in his career taught English, is returning to public life by accepting professorships in at least four schools outside of mainland China,Ma has kept a low profile since giving a speech critical of the Communist country’s banks in 2020. He has since attracted social media and press coverage during overseas visits that include Japan and Thailand.
The charismatic figure who no longer has any corporate roles at Chinese e-commerce heavyweight Alibaba accepted a three-year term as honorary professor at the University of Hong Kong last month; he will focus on research in finance, agriculture and entrepreneurial innovation, and has no plans to give public lectures or speeches, said the Post, which is itself owned by Alibaba Group.
Tokyo College at the University of Tokyo said this week that Ma has joined as a visiting professor, and is expected to “provide advice and support to the major research topics” as well as conduct joint research in areas of “sustainable agriculture and food production,” the Post reported.
