Jack Ma is fine. If that's what you mean by ruthless then it's not really a big deal.

All states, by definition, are authorities that demand compliance. You're not saying anything that distinguishes Jack Ma's condition from anyone else's just about anywhere.

Not at all. In non totalitarian/authoritarian countries you're fine if you stay on the right side of the law, instead of the whims of the regime.
