What happened

Shares of Alibaba Group Holding Limited ( BABA -0.91% ) stock that popped on positive analyst commentary yesterday fell back to earth on Wednesday after Reuters reported that a key government ministry is cutting ties with Alibaba.

So what

Yesterday, local analyst Chinese CLSA argued that Alibaba could be worth twice its $123 stock price as it expands its business both domestically and internationally, and capitalizes upon "the next big growth pillar" -- cloud computing.

NYSE: BABA

This morning, however, China's government swept the leg out from under that growth thesis. The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has suspended "a cooperative partnership" with Alibaba's Alibaba Cloud subsidiary.

Now what

As punishment for this failure, MIIT has ceased cooperating with Alibaba Cloud on cybersecurity threats and information sharing -- and won't even consider partnering up with Alibaba again for at least six months.
