Chinese Financial Regulators Launch Probe Into Alibaba Group

China's State Administration for Market Regulation has declared that an anti-monopoly investigation had been launched against the tech-giant Alibaba Group. The Chinese regulators have earlier warned the group for forcing their merchants to sign deals promising not to offer their products on rival platforms. Previously in November, the authorities have blocked the stock market listing of Alibaba's associate Ant Group, which would have been the world’s biggest IPO launch.
