If you listen to his whole speech, he's making a lot of very generalized criticisms on China's financial regulatory systems, which as a whole aren't inaccurate. But you're left wondering at the end how does it specifically relate with what he's concretely asking for (which presumably is just increasing the specific rate at which "JieBei" short-term debts can be repackaged and re-securitized). In other words, it just seems like a big obfuscation and dance around to ask for neoliberalism without saying the word and strawmanning the flip side as obsolete "pawn shop mentality".

Granted, regulatory hurdles this late in the process seems super opaque and vindictive. But on the flip side, leveraging debt at this level seems like a massive systemic risk to the social order considering the risk ratings on the repackaged security will be equally opaque within the Ant debt product offerings. It's fascinating seeing this as China more or less writing Glass-Steagall on the fly the day before the IPO. Despite it looking like 2 kids fighting over an ice cream, I think it'll be massively consequential in A) demonstrating leveraging on new forms of financial instruments like ML-driven peer-to-peer lending based on massive amounts of Ant/Alibaba consumer data, and B) it being a fork in the road on China setting a precedent on neoliberalism or politics controlling capital.

People argued as those regulation not done in 1 month he is under pressure for 1 year. Finally the rumour of sanction come before the possible election of Biden, they force the card and get that up. Then force back. Thus is the final stand not the cause. He has been silenced fir quite a while now. Not to do that just when money is all in — the share has been subscribed and for this cancel just lost to margin interest alone is us$70m.

Do not blame the messenger.
