Alibaba is listed on Wall Street and cannot lie without severe reprisal from the SEC. So i agree with Pundit - these are legit numbers.
I desire to go to hell and not to heaven. In the former place I shall enjoy the company of popes, kings, and princes, while in the latter are only beggars, monks, and apostles. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli on his deathbed, June 1527

There are 4.5B people on internet. Imagine if you captured all of them - and each bought something for 10 dollars - that will be 45B dollars.

The next generation of companies driven by tech will be humongous.

Trumps nationalism is SCREWED!!!
I think China will not budge. Her economy although small is solid. They can afford to wait it out while opening other channels. Obama was a visionary with TPP, but the moron killed it.
