President-elect Donald Trump said he had a "great meeting" with Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma on Monday, when they discussed 1 million new U.S. jobs.

Ma said that Alibaba's expansion would focus on products like garments, wine and fruits, with a special focus on trade between the American midwest and southeast Asia.

"We're focused on small business," Ma told reporters. "We specifically talked about ... supporting 1 million small businesses, especially in the Midwest of America. Small businesses on the platform selling products — agriculture products and America services — to China and Asia, because we're pretty big in Asia."

Where those jobs would come from is unclear. While an Alibaba spokesperson told CNBC before the meeting that the Chinese online retail giant company would create 1 million jobs over five years, Ma's comments focused on supporting small businesses.

"Alibaba will create 1 million U.S. jobs by enabling 1 million American small businesses and farmers to sell American goods to China and Asian consumers on the Alibaba platform," the company said in a statement.

Jack Ma

Jack is a real business man and I am confident he and Donald hit it off quickly, one businessman to another.
When Alibaba had its stock price around $120 Jack was complaining that China was hitting him hard on taxes. Now, though, the price has fallen to around $80 so the hit should not be so bad. ;)

========================================
When one considers that at least 90% of EVERYTHING an American touches, web searches, and finally ends up buying to go INTO THEIR HOUSE is MADE IN CHINA, it is absolutely mind-numbing.
Especially considering that 100% of that 90% is made on the OTHER SIDE OF THE EARTH and TRANSPORTED to the USA to sell in the American market.

During the decline of the Roman Empire the muleteers would bring in loads from all over and their return cargo was dung. ;)
