Jack Ma said Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. has “zero tolerance” for counterfeits, repeating a message that has so far failed to quell criticisms of its e-commerce platforms as a haven for knock-offs.

Brands and intellectual property must be protected and counterfeits are unacceptable, Ma said in an opinion piece published by the Wall Street Journal.
