This article seems to (IMHO) show a correlation between the Ant Group platform and many opinions of the Facebook tech giant:

"Ma has been remarkably quiet since then. The Ant IPO has sunk and the company could potentially be broken up as regulators look to get the company to provide more transparency on its inner- workings. Faced with this level of scrutiny keeping a low profile is probably in Ma's best interest."

In other China news, Chinese annual import quotas on Australian wool have been lifted by 5% (around 11,000 bales).

No news on lobster and wine, though, quotas that China reduced in 2020.
