Regulators also forced Alibaba's Ant Financial subsidiary to reorganize as a bank holding company to bring it under stricter supervision. The fintech subsidiary of Alibaba was also forced to shelve its proposed IPO.

China extended the crackdown to other high-profile tech names such asTencent Holdings LimitedTCEHY, and subsequently to private tutoring companies.
