The major news in China was that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has reportedly approved the Ant Group for a financial holding license. This comes after more than a year since the Ant Group IPO was derailed following Beijing’s crackdown on its major tech companies. Ant Group will be a full financial holding company, which many believe will signal a renewal of its IPO and a debut on the public markets in the near future. At the time of its original IPO, the Ant Group would have been the largest IPO in history with a $280 billion pre-IPO valuation.

AliBaba might soon have a new competitor in the Chinese food delivery market. Fellow eCommerce giant JD.Com (NASDAQ: JD) is reportedly mulling over an entry into the industry. The company already battles with food delivery giant Meituan, and a third tech titan could reduce Alibaba’s overall market share.
