After a period of silence, the "anti-alliance" has once again made a major move, this time directly targeting Jack Ma. On the 19th, members of the "anti-alliance" gathered at Times Square in Hong Kong to denounce Taobao. They even set up a shrine for Jack Ma, placing his photo in the center, and cursed Taobao with gongs and drums, claiming they would use "all means to destroy Taobao." Taobao, however, took a firm stance, disclosing the identities of the key members of the anti-Taobao alliance and refusing to compromise. Both sides entered a stalemate.

The backbone members of the alliance were engaged in illegal business operations and were punished and removed by Taobao. This time, Taobao made a positive counterattack. Three large volumes of materials revealed the true identities of the backbone members, as well as the reasons for their previous penalties and detailed information about their attacks on Taobao.

On November 25th, Guangdong police cracked a counterfeit case, arresting four suspects and seizing a large amount of fake LV and other branded goods. Among them, Lin Haotao, who was the leader, is exactly the No. 1 person "Zuolun" attacking Taobao Mall; another backbone member "Shangbuqi" planned the "Alipay withdrawal" action in late October. The data showed that he had more than 10 stores on Taobao, some of which were also penalized for selling fakes.

The organizer of the Hong Kong gathering, "Old Zhou," joined Taobao Mall in June this year but was expelled from the mall in October for selling "three-no" and problematic products, suspected of being counterfeit and substandard.

Zhang Xiang, one of the most active attackers of Taobao in every incident, registered a shop called "Second-generation ID异地processing" on Taobao in 2008, engaging in second-generation ID portrait collection transactions. Due to illegal activities, his shop was sealed by Taobao. Later, Zhang Xiang transferred his online store to Tencent's Paipai.com. The latest news shows that Paipai also sealed it yesterday.

Taobao made a positive response and vowed not to compromise. Some senior executives of Taobao made a positive response to this. Shao Xiaofeng stated that such malicious attacks have surpassed Taobao's own capabilities. Wang Shuai said he did not know how it would end, but emphasized that Taobao would stick to its position, clarify the truth, and never compromise. Wang Shuai said that the result of 12 years of efforts by Alibaba, Taobao, and Alipay is to establish a set of credit systems, which is also the foundation for the rise of e-commerce, and it will not be changed.

Out of empathy, the public naturally tends to support the "Anti-Taobao Alliance," believing that since they are protesting, it must be a self-rescue effort by the disadvantaged group. However, the act of setting up a shrine for Jack Ma is extremely excessive and has exceeded the normal business ethics and social moral bottom line. At the same time, if the facts are truly as Taobao disclosed, then the Anti-Taobao movement is a complete conspiracy, exploiting everyone's sympathy, and its actions are extremely vicious.
