Alibaba’s Jack Ma told incoming US president Donald Trump about his plans to create a million US jobs by bringing farmers and small businesses onto its platform to sell to Chinese consumers over the next five years, an Alibaba spokesman told Reuters.
“We had a great meeting,” Trump told reporters on January 9 as he accompanied Ma back down to the lobby of his Trump Tower headquarters after the meeting. He hailed the 52-year-old self-made Chinese billionaire as a “great, great entrepreneur, one of the best in the world,” AFP reported.
Trump, who made job creation a core of his election campaign, said the two would do great things together.
Ma works for China…just one of many subtle moves now to build bridges to soften the anti-China stance of Trump. The best news for Trump is jobs creation…just make big promises and worry about delivering later. It will be past Trump’s administration by then.
Xi has offered to accept USA into the AIIB…that is the bank that funds infrastructure projects and America needs billions and create even more jobs. Maybe move more factories into America…with all parts supplied by China…it is a win-win too. Soon Trump and Xi will be toasting and calling each other great leaders.
This is geo-politics.
You see what few others do. All you have to do to handle Trump is to offer him a good deal.
Galen Linder offer *America a good deal – dont you think its possible that Donald actually cares about our country?
