The appointment comes weeks after the billionaire made a rare public appearance in China following his fall from grace during a government crackdown on the tech industry over two years ago.
Jack Ma, founder of Chinese tech giant Alibaba, has been made an honorary professor of business at a top Hong Kong university, the school announced on Friday .
A record fine of US$2.75 billion was later imposed on Alibaba for alleged unfair business practices. A spokesperson for the institution said it welcomed Mr Ma sharing"his rich knowledge and experience in business innovation and development".The school's website now contains a profile of Mr Ma highlighting his expertise in"management and strategy".However, Mr Ma has"no plans for public lectures or speeches", according to the South China Morning Post, a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper wholly owned by Alibaba.
Mr Ma previously taught English for eight years at Hangzhou Dianzi University in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang before he launched Alibaba.
