In May 2024, Alibaba Hangzhou Global Headquarters was officially opened, from a bird's eye view, the center of the park is Alibaba's iconic smiley Logo, surrounded by 89 planting quilt and a central lake, which together form the "Ali Smiling Garden" landscape. The central lake not only provides a habitat for aquatic plants and animals, it is also a key element of the "sponge city" concept, and has become a recommended location for Alibaba employees to take wedding photos there. The new campus also has an approximately 800-meter-long circular passageway called the Ali Ring, which connects seven buildings and makes moving around the campus extremely convenient.
In addition, the new park adopts the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence technology to create a comprehensive smart office system including smart office, smart conference, and smart restaurant, which greatly facilitates the work and life of employees. For sports lovers, the park features a football pitch that meets FIFA standards and a 400-meter track certified by the Chinese Athletics Association. The sports center also includes facilities such as basketball courts, badminton courts, gym and table tennis tables.

The system is different from the partnership system in the traditional partnership enterprise law, and it is not equivalent to the dual share structure. In a "partnership" system, partners nominate a majority of board members, rather than allocating board seats based on the size of their shares.

In 2015:
On November 3, Jingdong announced to the SAIC real-name report that Ali disrupted the order of the e-commerce market. Jd.com said Alibaba's message to merchants was: if you participate in the Tmall "Double 11" main venue, you will not be allowed to participate in other platforms "Double 11" main venue. These acts hinder normal market competition and seriously harm the interests of consumers.
For JD.com's accusation that Tmall has two choices, Tmall officials have refuted, saying that Tmall has not carried out two choices.
On November 4, Fang Ya, spokesperson for the Tmall Double 11 Preparatory Committee, said that it will continue to expand its leading advantages in price, express speed, after-sales service, and continue to exceed its own and customer expectations in terms of product quality. The market needs the spirit of entertainment, but it can not only stay in the spirit of entertainment; The market inevitably has speculation, but can not always stay on the hype, but can not touch porcelain and fried tea as a career. The market does not believe in tears, the market needs open and fair competition in the sun, and enterprises need to face the reality of responsibility and courage. Respect real-name reporting, but today it is the chicken real-name reporting of the duck, saying that the duck monopolizes the lake.
On November 5, JD.com said that the State Administration for Industry and Commerce had accepted the report, but the State Administration for Industry and Commerce officially did not make a clear statement on the matter.
[191]
On the same day, Zhang MAO, director of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, visited Alibaba Group for research. Zhang MAO in the survey requirements, "Double 11" approaching, e-commerce platform enterprises as the first responsible person to build an honest and law-abiding network trading environment, shall not restrict e-commerce operators to participate in fair competition, not malicious marketing means to participate in competition. Zhang also asked e-commerce platforms to regulate the business behavior of merchants, review the qualifications of operators within the platform, and check and monitor the information on goods and services released by operators.
[191]
On November 25, Alibaba Group filed a lawsuit with Shanghai Qingpu District People's Court and Shanghai Baoshan District People's Court respectively, suing Jinwan Newspaper and Fujian Yihong Baihao Tea Co., Ltd. for their behavior of publishing false content in new media, demanding the other party to stop the infringement, apologize, and claim 10 million yuan each. The court filed both cases.
In mid-November, the wechat public number "Fuding Tea farmers May" and the Weibo account "Fuding Tea farmers - May" owned by Fujian Yihong Baihao Tea Co., Ltd. issued a document "One day received 91.2 billion, see how Ma Yun coughed up 57.4 billion". Tonight, the newspaper's wechat public number "Jinwan Evening" issued a document "Double 11 Secrets: All those big names you worked so hard to grab, and they were changed into fakes." Alibaba said that in order to attract attention, the first article fabricated the false facts of Double 11 returns of 57.4 billion yuan with unfounded exaggerated titles, and slandered company executives and Taobao, and the second article also deliberately slandered and maliciously insinuated the e-commerce platform without any factual basis. The two articles, which disparaged Alibaba's goodwill, were republished by several websites and circulated widely on wechat and Weibo, causing great damage to the company's reputation.
In addition, the wechat public account of Shanghai Xiduofang Wedding Etiquette Service Co., Ltd. "City singles Exchange Group" and the website of Shanghai Fuyou Investment Management Co., Ltd. "Rongdaitong Network" improperly reproduced the above two articles without verification, which is also suspected of infringing on Alibaba's rights and interests. Alibaba has also taken both to court, demanding that they bear joint liability.
In 2016:
On Dec. 21, the Office of the United States Trade Representative put Alibaba back on its annual list of "notorious markets," just four years after the company was removed from the list. Alibaba Group President Michael Evans said in a statement, "We deeply regret the USTR's decision. They ignore the real work Alibaba has done to fight counterfeits."
In 2017:
In June 2017, Alibaba's Cainiao blocked SF Express in the name of broken cooperation, Taobao "bundled" cloud services in the name of data security, and later banned other software from providing data analysis functions to merchants on the same grounds of data security.
[206]
In 2020:
On June 17, it was revealed
Alibaba
A P8 employee who had been on the job for three months advertised on the recruitment software for a personal assistant with a monthly salary of 16,000 yuan, promising to provide a formal salary for the applicant to apply for a regular job at Alibaba. The news sparked heated discussion online. After the investigation of the company's integrity department, it was confirmed that the chat records transmitted online were true. The aforementioned P8 employee, as an employee of Alibaba, published false recruitment information on the website, deceived and harassed job seekers, and used the company's position as bait to try to achieve private improper purposes. According to the management regulations of the company, he was dismissed.
[192]
March 15 will be exposed
After the March 15 gala was exposed, Alibaba quickly responded:
1. Thank CCTV for exposing the gray and black industry of Internet brushing, so that more people can understand and resist this cancer.
