Reuters recently published an exclusive article claiming that the United States is reviewing whether Alibaba's cloud business for U.S. companies poses a risk on the grounds of "national security." According to sources, the focus of the investigation is twofold: first, how Alibaba stores U.S. customer data, including personal information and intellectual property; and second, whether the Chinese government has access to that data.
In fact, Americans have long set their sights on Alibaba. Alibaba Cloud is the world's third largest cloud computing company only after Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, but Ma Yun is not satisfied with the domestic market and has long deployed Ali's cloud computing business in the United States.
Many Americans may remember that before Trump took office, Ma Yun visited the United States and had close interactions with Trump as president-elect at the time.
In the early morning of January 10, 2017, Ma Yun met with Trump in His conference room in Trump Tower, New York. Trump said he had a great "Great Meeting" meeting with Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma, calling him "a great entrepreneur." At that time, the US media disclosed that Ma Yun promised to create 1 million jobs for the United States in his talks with Trump. Mainly through Alibaba's multiple e-commerce platforms, it helps more U.S. small and medium-sized enterprises export goods to China.
In May 2016, Ma had lunch with Obama at the White House. Still, the Obama administration added Alibaba to its list of "notorious markets" at the end of 2016.
For Ali, it was a wake-up call. It is precisely because of the ZTE incident that Huawei made emergency preparations, did not back down on the Meng Wanzhou incident, reacted quickly in the chip, and worked hard to find other alternative partners in the world to achieve a smooth landing. Ali should also learn a lesson and adopt a strategy of retreating to stand on its own land while maintaining cooperation with countries and regions overseas, especially in the long-arm jurisdiction of the United States, otherwise there may be a relatively large growth problem. No different from ZTE and Huawei, Chinese enterprises must not have any illusions, must not lose the motherland, and must consciously integrate with the country, the nation and the friendly economies around them.
