Ma had” run collaborative research and projects” with staff members,” especially in the field of sustainable agriculture and food supply ,” according to Tokyo College’s website.
The baron is also required to” offer advice and support” on research topics as a visiting professor.
Ma taught English for eight centuries at Hangzhou Dianzi University in northeast China before launching Alibaba, whose services include e-commerce, cloud computing, marketing, and Intelligence.
He was one of the most prominent target of some of China’s biggest tech companies’ late 2020 crackdown on alleged anti-competitive techniques.
Officials issued Alibaba with capture fines and canceled the IPO of Ma’s Ant Group due to concerns that large web companies control too much information and expanded also quickly.
Ma was apparently living in Japan for a significant portion of 2022 despite being completely hidden from public view for the past two decades. She was also spotted in Spain.
In March, he visited a classroom in Hangzhou that had been established by Alibaba partners, making an unusual public appearance in China.
