After Jack Ma, another Tech Billionaire in China has ignited controversial debates on the government's anti-monopoly campaign through his posting of a millennial ancient poem on his social media. Part of it read: "Before the ashes turned cold, rebellion had arisen east of the mountains." (Later, the poem was deleted).
Translated full text of the Poem:
"The ashes of burnt books had not yet faded away but the Qin dynasty was already weak,
The natural military forts did not protect the Qin dynasty,
The bonfire for burning books was not yet cold when the riot in Shandong started,
It turns out Liu Bang and Xiang Yu [who overthrew the Qin dynasty] did not read books at all."
