Alibaba Group (HKG:9988) founder Jack Ma has been sighted at the company's campus with a renewed push to "Make Alibaba Great Again" after spending years out of the public eye, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday.
Ma is reportedly taking a hands-on approach at the firm, more recently sanctioning Alibaba's decision to spend as much as 50 billion yuan on subsidies to beat out e-commerce rivals JD.com (HKG:9618) and Meituan (HKG:3690).
It's not yet clear whether Ma will return in any official capacity, but he is expected to keep a lower profile than his previous stint at the firm, the report said.
