Alibaba needs to be much more than just the “Amazon of China”

Alibaba has been called the “Amazon of China,” and has certainly been dominating in its home country, but the Chinese e-commerce giant has little influence overseas. This is something that the company’s new CEO, 43-year-old Daniel Zhang, believes needs to change if Alibaba wants its success to continue. This is why he wants to begin hiring foreign talent to adopt “global thinking” and begin heavily investing in “new and existing overseas operations.”.
