8. Jack Ma: You should not be afraid of innovative companies becoming giants, you should be worried that giants will not innovate

On August 26, Jack Ma, co-chair of the United Nations High-Level Group for Digital Cooperation, said at the 2019 China International Intelligent Industry Expo held in Chongqing: "China's current Internet companies rely on innovation and market. We should not be afraid that innovative companies will become giants. What we should be worried about is that giants do not innovate."

Jack Ma said that the United States is a country on the wheel, and China should and has the opportunity to become a country on the Internet. Today, China's digital economy has such development and enterprises of the size of BAT, which is consistent with China's scale of development and becoming the world's second largest economy in the past 20 years. "There is not more BAT, but less. A country like China should have dozens of such large companies."

In the past 20 or 30 years, high-speed rail, highways, the Internet, logistics, etc. have profoundly changed and influenced China. But when high-speed rail and expressways are on, green trains are still there, and inter-village roads are still there; when express delivery is on, the postal service is still there; when the Internet is on, the traditional phone is still there. Jack Ma said: "In fact, it's not just who innovates, who grasps the future, and who provides different values ​​to different groups of people."

He emphasized that large companies are not about large market capitalization or large scale, but about large responsibilities. Only companies with great responsibility can go further. "The next thirty years will be the era of intelligence. We need smart policies in the era of wisdom. All smart enterprises must have the responsibilities of smart enterprises. If we don't take responsibility, no one can grow bigger. I believe that large enterprises and big innovation must be to solve social problems and future problems." (Sina Finance)
