1. Jack Ma: From today on, China will become a major importer
On the evening of November 5, Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma participated in the "Trade and Innovation Parallel Forum" of China International Import Expo. Jack Ma said at the meeting that today is important to China and the world and is a milestone because China is shifting from exports to imports. In the past 40 years, we have focused on exports. We have saved 800 million people from poverty. From today on, China will become a major importer.
In Jack Ma's view, this is a major challenge for China and an important opportunity for the world. The reason why it is said to be a major challenge for China is because in the past, "we are very accustomed to exporting", such as many manufacturing companies. Jack Ma believes that China needs $30 trillion in imports every year in the future, which will make many trading companies feel uncomfortable, but it is a good thing for consumers. (E-commerce News)
