Will Alibaba be impacted by China US tension?

Huawei is like dead, and Tiktok is being banned potentially...Any thought if #Alibaba will be next target? What business Alibaba is doing here in the US that could potentially be targeted any ideas? #alibabacloud

Only if they ever get any real traction outside China

Yeah that is my question...like what

No. Mainly the reason US ban Huawei is because they won’t go public. Come on everybody knows the privacy / security whatever is bullshit. Alibaba is on NASDAQ so no issues. Not a good thing for Jack Ma but that’s the tradeoff

Dont think they'll ban Alibaba, american small businesses and large businesses do large transactions with Alibaba and rely on them as the sole source of supply.

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 15, 2020

Didn't know that thx. I thought it's just Aliexpress that is their core business here and probably people use Amazon instead of it.

If Alibaba dead Shopify and Amazon dead af

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 15, 2020

Are they comparable though? Do Amazon and Shopify rely on Alibaba you mean?

As long as Alibaba don’t operate in usa they are fine

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 15, 2020

They have offices in Cali

A lot of third party sellers buy their products wholesale on Alibaba and then sell on Amazon. That's why when you look up something like exercise bands, you see many listings from different sellers if basically the same product. These sellers will be impacted. Amazon as a whole, less so, because the bulk of their profits come from clouds now.

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 15, 2020

I see Alibaba cloud business is growing fast too, any idea if that will be a threat as a security reason by US government?

LinkedIn yogat Jul 15, 2020

Because of the political tension I don't see it being a threat to US cloud companies in the near term. No customer will want to sign up for a cloud service that might be taken away at the government's whim or potentially attract bad PR

South China Sea is a potential trigger for a war involving US vs China. If a war breaks out, Alibaba is an enemy of US.

Aliexpress is alive and thriving in the US and EU

Don’t buy baba until things with china settle down

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 15, 2020

Not about stock but what about a job offer lol

Cummins 404UNFOUND OP Jul 31, 2020

Your group lol sent you a chat

Amazon qongsinzal Jul 15, 2020

Alibaba doesn't have a valid business in US. It is not threatening Amazon, and I doubt it will even try at this point cause it won't be worth it.
