Alibaba.com is in control of Yahoo’s China sites. Yahoo bought 40% of alibaba.com’s shares in the company in August.

Jack Ma, CEO of alibaba.com, said, “What we are doing is sending out a strong signal to China, to the Yahoo team: ‘We are focused and we are coming.” [Source]

Alibaba.com has received $250 million USD from Yahoo and will spend most of it to develop a better search engine software for Yahoo China.
