I wouldn’t trust Alibaba any further than I could throw them, they’re likely just talking about distribution centers. Want to see how much profit there is, in ignoring intellectual property laws? Look no further, they’re the poster child for everything wrong with Chinese MFN status in my opinion.
If you were China, wouldn’t you want more of your stuff delivered through Alibaba and less through Amazon?

Very true.
But, they have been thinking about this expansion for a couple of years. So, it’s probably just to get on the good side of Trump. At one point, they had selected office space in Silicon Valley - but that fell through.

I completely agree.
To me, there seems something wrong with that organization. I haven’t looked completely under the covers, but something seems fishy.
