What is it about Ma Chuang? Ma Yun said in public that if the Sino US economic and trade deteriorated, the promise to create millions of jobs would be invalid. At the crucial moment of the Sino US trade war, this move was very good.
Last year, when meeting with President trump, Ma Yun, chairman of Alibaba's board of directors, said that he would create 1 million jobs for the United States. During the Boao Forum for Asia's annual meeting in 2018, Ma Yun stated that if Sino US economic and trade relations deteriorate, this commitment will also be invalidated.
On January 10, 2017, Ma Yun went to Trump Tower in New York to meet trump in the conference room. A spokesman for Alibaba group and a spokesman for the trump team said the talks focused on Alibaba's expansion plan in the United States.
Prior to the meeting, Alibaba spokesman Brion Tingler told CNBC that Ma Yun would discuss with trump to sell us goods to Chinese and Asian customers through Alibaba platform, and Alibaba would help create 1 million jobs in the US.
