【新唐人2014年05月13日讯】中国电子商务公司“阿里巴巴”在中国和香港上市失败后,日前又传出在美国上市,消息传出,除了企业运营不透明与“合伙人”制度遭到外界质疑外,中国“6.4”受害者们,也计划上书美国国会及纽约证交所,通报“阿里巴巴”创办人马云是“6.4”屠城帮凶。专家认为,这一项道德谴责行动,可能会使华尔街承包“阿里巴巴”上市的公司打退堂鼓。
5月6号,“阿里巴巴”在美国提交上市文件。去年,“阿里巴巴”开始与香港交易所商讨上市问题,因为“阿里巴巴”坚持的“合伙人”制度,违反香港的“同股同权”原则而僵持不下,而在“阿里巴巴”的合伙人制度中,马云作为只占持股8.7%的小股东,却一直掌管公司。据了解,马云的“合伙人”有28人。
“阿里巴巴”打算在美国上市的消息披露后,公司对外资讯透明度不足,同样让投资者感到担忧。美国《华尔街日报》报导,“阿里巴巴”提交的超过2,000页的上市申请文件里,有许多重要问题没有得到解答。
去年7月,马云接受媒体采访时,肯定中共前党魁邓小平在“六四事件”中的镇压行为,并声称﹕镇压是“当时最正确的决定”。
旅美中国民主党共同主席王军涛:“马云他应该在商言商,他把他跟刽子手邓小平绑在一起,和共产党的专制政权对人民的镇压绑在一起,赞扬了共产党的89年镇压,他自己把自己和罪人绑在一起,那我当然就怀疑对阿里巴巴的处理也是不道德的,所以我觉得我们就要谴责他。”
旅居美国纽约的中国异议人士、民主党共同主席王军涛,在得知“阿里巴巴”将在美国上市后,决定带领党员在纽约“时报广场”和纽约证券交易所进行示威。
美国南卡罗莱纳大学艾肯商学院教授谢田:“足够多的道义上的反对力量存在的话,承包公司会觉得道德风险太大,出来以后会成为一个丑闻的话,他们会认为不值得做,就会要求撤掉、推迟。”
在美的民运人士魏京生得知消息后,也马上决定出手阻击。“魏京生基金会”办公室主任黄慈萍和法律顾问叶宁律师起草了英文报告,将发给国会和纽约证监会等部门。
美国华府律师叶宁:“如果反对声浪很大的话,引起了公众的愤怒,美国媒体的揭发,加上美国国会的调查等等,都会提高美国证监会的警觉。”
据了解,“阿里巴巴”最重要的核心业务——“支付宝”,是它的姊妹公司“浙江阿里巴巴”(Zhejiang Alibaba E-Commerce Ltd.)产品,而“阿里巴巴”并不持有“支付宝”的股权,在上市申请书中,也没有披露“支付宝”的财务业绩。
另外,属于主要业务的两个购物网站:“淘宝”和“天猫”。申请书中也没有分开列明这两个网站的业绩数据,而是将这两家网站的业绩,与第三个更小的平台,一起放在被公司称为“中国商务”的业务类别中,这个类别占公司总收入超过五分之四。
“阿里巴巴”在上市申请书中,也没有说明与14家国内物流公司合作的财务条款。
叶宁:“严重的问题是,用西方这种很标准的规则来对待中国的话,中国就用玩猫腻来对待,问题就不在于圈几个钱的问题,是随着中国大量进入美国的金融市场,慢慢的就把美国的规则给改了,从而改变了人类的主流文明的主流文化。”
多家外媒也关注到“阿里巴巴”的股权结构问题,媒体报导说,虽然创办人马云的持股,比大股东“软银”和“雅虎”都低得多,但马云还有另外28位合伙人,能够提名大部分的董事,而在申请案中,并没有标明这些董事的姓名。
“阿里巴巴”的黑箱操作,主要是因为在28个合伙人中,有前党魁江泽民的孙子江志成,和现任中共政治局常委刘云山的儿子刘乐飞,这些红色权贵参与其中。
美国华府中国问题专家石藏山表示,对于江泽民三代来说,选择在美国上市公司,对转移他们的财产更为有利,可以脱离中共政府日后可能的监督和清查。

Alibaba Has Difficulty Listing in U.S.
Due to Exposure By Democracy Movement
After China and Hong Kong listing failures,
Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba is listing in the U.S.
Operations and the non-transparent partnership
have come under question.
In addition, June 4 Tiananmen Massacre (6.4) victims plan
to write to the U.S. Congress and the New York Stock
Exchange to inform them that Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma
is an accomplice in the 6.4 Massacre.
Experts believe Wall Street investing companies that
are financing Alibaba’s IPO may back out
due to condemnation of their code of ethics.
On May 6, Alibaba submitted listing documents
in the United States.
Last year, Alibaba began discussing listing issues with
the Hong Kong Stock Exchange but deadlocked.
The Hong Kong regulatory authority refused to allow
founder Jack Ma and other partners to retain control
on the board since their partner system violated
the one share-one vote rule.
Alibaba’s lack of transparent foreign information after
disclosing its listing plan in the US market
is cause for concern for investors.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a more than 2,000 page
listing application left many important questions unanswered.
In an interview last July, Jack Ma claimed that former
Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping’s repression
during the Tiananmen Incident was the most correct decision
at that time.
Wang Juntao, co-chairman of the US-based China Democratic
Party: “I think we should be suspicious of Alibaba’s immoral
operations and condemn Jack Ma since he praised
the 1989 repression.
He should be condemned for linking himself to the despot."
New York-based Chinese dissident and China Democratic
Party co-chairman Wang Juntao decided to demonstrate
with party members at New York Times Square and the Stock
Exchange regarding Alibaba’s availability in the US.
Xie Tian, the University of South Carolina Aiken School
Business Professor: “The contract company will postpone
or leave if there is risk of a scandal due to moral opposition."
After hearing the news, US democracy activist Wei Jingsheng
decided to strike by drafting an English language report
from the Wei Jingsheng Foundation to Congress,
the New York Commission, and other departments.
Washington DC lawyer Ye Ning: “The U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be aware
of public outrage triggered by the opposition wave,
US media coverage and a congressional investigation."
It is said that the core business of Alibaba and Alipay
is its sister company Zhejiang Alibaba
(Zhejiang Alibaba E-Commerce Ltd.) Products.
However, Alibaba does not hold stake in Alipay,
nor did it disclose Alipay’s financial performance
on its listing application.
In addition, the application does not list performance data
for the two main business websites, Taobao and Lynx,
but placed them together with a third smaller platform
known as China Business, which accounted for more
than four fifths of the company’s total revenue.
Alibaba didn’t specify the financial cooperation terms with
14 domestic logistics companies on the listing application.
Ye Ning: “The seriousness of problem is that China
will fox with standard western rules.
China will change U.S. rules and mainstream culture
by pouring into the US financial market,
which is the most frightening aspect of the Beijing model."
Several foreign media outlets noticed Alibaba’s ownership
structure problem.
It is said that although founder Jack Ma’s holdings are lower
that the shareholders of Softbank and Yahoo,
Ma’s 28 partners can nominate the most directors.
However, the application does not indicate
the names of these directors.
One cause of Alibaba’s black-box operation is that among its
28 partners are some CCP elite including grandson of former
leader Jiang Zemin, Jiang Zhicheng, and the son of current
Politburo Standing Committee member Liu Yunshan.
Washington, D.C.-based China expert Shi Cangshan said that
it’s more favorable for Jiang Zemin’s three generations to list
companies in the U.S. in order to transfer their property
and break away from Chinese governmental supervision.
