(for some reason I cannot link this photo...)

The URL you are using (http://postimg.org/image/kli5c3sft/) is for the page on which the photo is displayed.

To display the photo here, you need the URL of the actual photo itself (which is http://s28.postimg.org/5pjm4ih18/tiananmen_square_Jack_Ma.jpg).

To get the image URL, in Firefox you can right-click on the image and select "Copy Image Location" (or select "View Image" and then copy the URL from the address bar). I'm sure other browsers use a similar method.

For some reason I'm looking at the portrait in the photograph, and I feel offended by it, but I don't know why??

Yeah, something is off with the portrait, but I guess we're all supposed to recognize him?

The portrait was historically / is Mao ZeDong.

Who recently (July 2013) said: Mowing down demonstrators in Tiananmen Square was the “correct decision” (http://qz.com/105408/jack-ma-mowing-down-hundreds-of-demonstrators-in-tiananmen-was-the-correct-decision/)


He was the top decision-maker in the country;
he had to be steady,
he had to make those cruel decisions.
This was not a perfect decision,
but it was the most correct decision.
It was the most correct decision at the time.

Alibaba, which holds 80% of China's e-commerce market share:


Alibaba Claims Title For Largest Global IPO Ever (http://www.forbes.com/sites/ryanmac/2014/09/22/alibaba-claims-title-for-largest-global-ipo-ever-with-extra-share-sales/)

www.forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com)

Sep 22, 2014 - At $25 billion, Alibaba's initial public offering can be called the largest global IPO ever.





Which made Ma the richest man, aka top decision-maker, in China.


Aside from his success, he's known for:


In a 2005 interview, Jack Ma told the media that he fired 80% of MBA graduates who joined Alibaba.

BINGO! I knew someone would get it. I did the photoshop as a joke. Jack Ma is quite the businessman. He was just a poor kid in the streets who offered to translate for free to tourists just to practice speaking English. As China opened up to private enterprise he managed to become successful. Currently he's the richest man in China and head of Alibaba. He alone is responsible for the huge online sales in China because he had a very unique method for guaranteeing product delivery to the skeptical Chinese-they would not actually pay for the product until delivery. He stresses quality and in China quality was always lacking (I know from personal experience).
