E-commerce chairman discusses future opportunities at event with Chief Executive Carrie Lam
The executive chairman of the e-commerce giant, who is also the chairman of the General Association of Zhejiang Entrepreneurs, engaged in a fireside discussion with Lam during the ceremony, where Ma praised Lam for possessing great leadership for offering the invitation.
“A mere politician will never dare to say so,” Ma said. “Alibaba will take this message. We will definitely consider Hong Kong’s market.
“We hope we can further invest in Hong Kong and enhance our participation in the city’s economy.”
Lam’s invitation came after the passing of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing’s proposal to allow companies offering different classes of shares with different voting power to list in the city.
