China's Jack Ma Alibaba to create 1 million US jobs after meeting with Trump

[ShivaFan]

Now even China starting to have a come to Jesus moment with Trump. After finding out today the Ford Bronco will return to Michigan, after finding out yesterday that Fiat is going to invest $1 billion in Michigan, Ohio plants, creating 2,000+ jobs, now this morning the bombshell news that Alibaba's Jack Ma just met with Trump and will create 1 million new U.S. jobs for small business and agra in USA.

We just might be looking at a new age of world peace thanks to President Trump. And probably the end of ISIS.

Trump is like the Golden Milk Cow, he can weave straw into gold, it is raining $100 dollar bills from heaven. Some called Trump a goose. He's a goose alright - who lays golden eggs.

And I own shares in Alibaba. Hot doggie.

This is an absolute joke.

From your article:

"Alibaba will create 1 million U.S. jobs by enabling 1 million American small businesses and farmers to sell American goods to China and Asian consumers on the Alibaba platform," the company said in a statement.

Sounds good, right?

Like Etsy or eBay, Alibaba enables third-party sellers in China to take their own businesses to the web. The company only had 36,446 full-time employees, almost all in China, as of March 31, according to SEC filings. But with more than 10 million active sellers as of 2015, Alibaba estimates its China retail marketplaces "contributed to the creation of over 15 million job opportunities."

By this absurd logic, Ebay is the world's largest employer. That isn't how this works. Could this create supplemental income? Maybe. Could you theoretically create a business this way? Sure. But to make the absurd claim of "1 million US jobs" is nothing short of creative fabrication.

Every transaction is now a job right. Got it.

Well, did Trump really enable this or it makes good business sense for Alibaba to broaden its market? Similar to how Amazon broadened its marketplace with Chinese sellers, but instead has to clean up all the scams and counterfeits.

Talk is cheap.
Promises even more so.
I'm going to wait & see what happens.

Problem with this instance, is the design itself is flawed and pandered to sell views. Meh... what else is new, right?

Having said that ...

... China needs to get out of Tibet, stop their genocide of Tibetan peoples and the land grab of Tibet by the Han Chinese, stop the systematic government orchestrated campaign of terrorism against Buddhists both Tibetan as well as Chinese, and let small business and local business in Tibet conduct their own participation in global trade that benefits their own Tibetan community.

.., Tibetans should sell their own products and conduct their own Tibetan small business ventures inclusive of religious products, herbs, art and local crafts, fine art, literature, garmet industry, jewelry, music, etc. on eBay and Alibaba free of Chinese government hegemony and suppression.

This is an absolute joke.

Komrade Trumpsky will always take credit when none is due him. He's the worst egotist I've ever seen at any time and anywhere. Mind you, Scuba Diving is flled with FIGJAMs like him.
