(By Taylor and Maurizio, with the collaboration of Maximiliano Mauvecin) In a special two-part article, we address the problems of Alibaba and its relationship with the root of its major issues: Chinese Statism. In this first piece, we focus on its nightmare of external genesis. A clear example of how, if China were to set aside its "capitalist communism" and embrace freedom and independent justice, it would already be the number one power today. The other significant issue for the rest of the world is: if it becomes the number one power, still without respect for liberties, without protection of private property, and without independent justice, how will it affect the free world, individual respect, and fair competition? In a world where the digital economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, the Chinese giant Alibaba stands out as a colossus in the realm of e-commerce. Amid a complex regulatory environment and uncertain business climate, Alibaba faces significant challenges that could define its future and that of the Chinese economy. Its substantial decline is strictly due to the impact of stateist, communist policies from the Chinese government, resulting in millions in market and capitalization losses. This article explores the evolution of Alibaba, its current difficulties, and the opportunities that could arise if the Chinese government opts for a more favorable approach toward the private sector and sets aside interventionist regimes, granting freedom and respect for private property and individual decisions.
