The head of China’s largest online seller Alibaba does not think China and the United States will have a trade war despite comments from the Trump administration.
Jack Ma is the chairman of the Alibaba Group. At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, “China and (the) US will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He’s open-minded, and he’s listening.” The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.
Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small US businesses to sell goods on Alibaba’s online shopping platform.
During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government’s support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away US jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan. Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.
According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, “American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization.” He added that the US should not blame the loss of jobs and companies on globalization.
However, a new study by an American business group says many US businesses feel unwelcome in China. The companies say the cost of doing businesses in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.
The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 companies.
William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American companies. He says, “We feel that over the last few years that we’ve been taken advantages of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market.”
Another major concern for US companies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.
Ma defended Alibaba’s efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his company is doing all it can to fight against the problem. “Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness,” Ma said.

Traded Between the US and China.

Tom was one of the brightest boys in the year, with supportive parents. But when he was 15 he suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects. One of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer group.
The lack of right male role models in many of their lives — at home and particularly in the school environment— means that their peers are the only people they have to judge themselves against.
They don’t see men succeeding in society so it doesn’t occur to them that they could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop that but not in front of a child’s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It’s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have a special unit where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems — somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children. 8. Why did Tom give up studying? A. He disliked his teachers.
B. His parents no longer supported him.
