China’s government is so strong on investment, so strong on exporting, but they’re too weak on domestic consumption.

Chinese people, young people, they don’t go shopping a lot in department stores. All department store guys hate me. They say business is bad because of Jack.

Consumption is still going up on Alibaba. This is because when the economy goes down people look online to Alibaba to buy cheaper things.

EBay is a great company. There are a lot of good assets and good customers, and the U.S. people love it.

EBay may be a shark in the ocean, but I’m a crocodile in the Yangtze River. If we fight in the ocean, we lose, but if we fight in the river, we win.

Every government says they love small businesses, but what have they done for them? We should pull down all the barriers.

Every technological revolution takes about 50 years.

Jack Ma

Help young people. Help small guys. Because small guys will be big. Young people will have the seeds you bury in their minds, and when they grow up, they will change the world.

Jack Ma

Helping doing business easier, we choose the name Alibaba because it is a global company. It is founded in China, but it was created for the world.
