Why Chinese entrepreneurs look good
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on November 12, 2018, 6:29 AMThis is one of the reasons why Chinese entrepreneurs look good: the people have money to spend. Yes, within 24 hours, Alibaba sold a total of $30.7 billion items during the Singles' Day event.
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd cashed a record 213.5 billion yuan ($30.7 billion) in sales on Sunday during its 24-hour online retail frenzy Singles’ Day, but the event’s annual growth dropped to its slowest rate.
Shoppers in China and across the world snapped up hot items including iPhones, furniture and milk powder starting pre-dawn, with Alibaba recording roughly $10 billion in sales in the first hour after midnight.
Singles’ Day, also called “Double 11”, is the world’s biggest online sales event, outstripping the sales of U.S. shopping holidays Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.

Quote from Midera on December 14, 2018, 7:29 AMI believe that the Chinese entrepreneurs look good because the government try to promote and encourage the people to enter this field. I have no doubt that China will become a superpower in the near future. Just wait and see how they change the dynamics of the world.

Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on December 15, 2018, 7:11 AMI agree with you - China is already an economic superpower. On government supporting them, I think every government should do that. That is what governments exist for: support local companies and economies.
