(to my understanding) They did violate a "SHALL" guideline:

"The CA SHALL develop, maintain, and implement documented procedures that
identify and require additional verification activity for High Risk Certificate
Requests prior to the Certificate’s approval, as reasonably necessary to ensure
that such requests are properly verified under these Requirements."

I don't recall if they automatically approved or manually approved it by 
mistake (the operator wasn't familiar with Alibaba).

alicdn.com is ranked 760 in Alexa top 1 million, and requests for this domain 
should be considered "high risk":

CMD$ wget http://s3.amazonaws.com/alexa-static/top-1m.csv.zip;gzip -cd 
top-1m.csv.zip|grep alicdn.com
