To me it suggests something that Alibaba has been wanting to do for some time, but has been waiting for the opportunity to do so,\u201d said Stuart Cole, head macro economist at brokerage Equiti Capital. <\/p>\n<p>The restructuring \u201cdoes inject an element of flexibility and adaptability into the company, which currently is something of a behemoth,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Josh Horwitz in Shanghai, Lavanya Ahire and Tiyashi Datta in Bengaluru; editing by Arun Koyyur, Jason Neely and Christina Fincher)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/alibaba-to-break-up\/attachment\/file-photo-the-logo-of-alibaba-group-is-seen-at\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>One conservative Gen-Zer, who is trying to change California, believes there should be alternatives to an all-out ban. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p>Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene wants Manhattan D.A.
