In the Arabian
Nights we were mesmerized with ”Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves”
With his “Open
Sesame” to take some treasure from the cave and leave
Today a new
Alibaba has opened the treasure cave
To the tune
of a huge public offering and investors’ raves
A new Alibaba
now sharing the pages with 40 Regulators
not 40 Thieves
Causing the
investors from the cave with their paper gold to grieve
Rapid
increase in revenues for Alibaba but today its stock price fell
As on the
issue of counterfeit goods sold through Alibaba the Chinese regulators
wished to dwell
Ironic that
we have been like Cato against Carthage but against the Chinese in a repetitious
refrain
Exported Chinese
counterfeit goods and stealing of IP are acts that China must abstain
One hates to
see investors take a nine percent one day bath
But maybe
Alibaba will take anticounterfitting steps to avoid its regulators’ wrath
Even if the
Chinese regulators attacking Alibaba is like the pot calling the kettle black
The
manufacturers in China may be encouraged to follow a new non cheating tack
