    Alipay ownership-transfer controversy

    The restructuring of Alipay ownership before its payment-license process became controversial after reports that Yahoo and SoftBank had not been informed of the transfer. The dispute involved corporate governance, shareholder rights, and the relationship between Alibaba’s foreign investors and the Chinese operating entity. Alibaba, Yahoo, and SoftBank reached an agreement in July 2011.
