TREE NEWS update: Chinese-listed Baiwang Co. said shareholders approved the appointment of Chen Hang, former CEO of Alibaba’s DingTalk, as a non-executive director with a 100% affirmative vote at an extraordinary general meeting on September 17. Chen, who goes by the name Wuzhao, will be paid an annual salary of RMB 100,000 and will not receive additional director allowances or subsidies for attending meetings.
Ex-DingTalk CEO Chen Hang Joins Baiwang as Non-Executive Director at RMB 100,000 a Year
AI take
Chen Hang's move from a high-profile operating role at Alibaba's DingTalk to a non-executive seat at a listed Chinese software firm reads as a governance and signaling appointment more than an operational one. The nominal annual fee and the absence of meeting allowances suggest the value lies in his name and network rather than day-to-day involvement, which matters for how much influence he will actually exercise. For a company like Baiwang, the open question is whether this is a one-off board credential or the start of deeper ties to the Alibaba orbit.
