This company operates in an extremely difficult market: the Chinese market, where administrative barriers are still numerous, despite the appearances of liberalism and the official discourse of the Chinese government. It is a market where political pressures are also numerous: China is one of the last communist dictatorships in the world. Duncan Clark, having been a consultant for Alibaba for many years, knows the company and its founder from the inside, so many reasons to read this summary.
