HONG KONG -- Paying a record fine of $2.8 billion might be enough for Alibaba Group to draw a line under Beijing's anti-monopoly crackdown for now, but China's largest ecommerce company is not off the hook as its extensive media assets remain a concern for the authorities.
While Alibaba is best known for its online shopping platforms Taobao and Tmall, the Hangzhou-based company has also assembled a media empire. It includes newspapers, digital and broadcast media, a social-networking platform, video-streaming site, film production company and advertising agencies.
