🚫The National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (NAPC) has added the Chinese group of companies Alibaba Group Holding Limited to the list of international sponsors of war

The group of companies of Alibaba Group Holding Limited includes: Cloud Intelligence Group, Taobao Tmall Business Group (Taobao, Tmall, Taobao Deals, Taocaica\i, 1688. com), Local Services Group (Amap, Ele. me), Global Digital Business Group (Lazada, AliExpress, Trendyol, Daraz, Alibaba. com), Cainiao Smart Logistics, Digital Media and Entertainment Group (Youku, Alibaba Pictures).

💢In particular, attention was drawn to the online commerce platform AliExpress, which is operated by the Russian subsidiary of the Alibaba group, LLC "Alibaba. COM (RU)"

💬According to the NACP website, "as of 2023, the company continues to do business in Russia, providing an international platform for the sale of foreign goods. The profit of Alibaba.COM (RU) LLC for 2022 amounted to 16.3 billion rubles (about $160 million)."

💭"In April 2023, Reuters reported that the Chinese company Quzhou Nova purchased at least 3,220 tons of copper alloy for a total of $7.4 million from the Debaltseve Metallurgical Engineering Plant (controlled by the russians) between October 8, 2022 and March 24, 2023. According to customs, the copper alloy was shipped from the plant through the port of Novorossiysk. The company uses the copper exported from the occupied territories to produce goods that it sells on Alibaba's platforms. It is worth noting that Alibaba also resorts to censoring Ukrainian content on its platforms related to the russian war. In March 2022, Alibaba blocked the profile of a Ukrainian streamer who had more than 268 thousand subscribers on AliExpress for posting about the war. At the same time, pro-russian posts on the platform are not deleted," the statement said.
