Rumors that the United States began to investigate Alibaba Suspected of wanting to blackmail? 1. According to Reuters on January 18, citing multiple sources familiar with the matter, the United States is reviewing the cloud business of Chinese company Alibaba on the grounds of "national security". This is obviously the United States again suppressing Chinese enterprises and driving Chinese communications service enterprises out of China.

2, first of all, although Alibaba gives the impression of an Internet giant, it also has a communication business, that is, Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud essentially provides communication services, competing with the three major telecom operators and Huawei in China, while abroad, Alibaba also provides some cloud services. It is Alibaba Cloud's business that alibaba is being investigated in the United States.

3. Secondly, the source said that the content of the survey included "whether China can obtain data from U.S. customers through Alibaba Cloud" and so on. Led by an agency called the Office of Intelligence and Security under the U.S. Department of Commerce. They claim that the focus of the investigation is on how Alibaba stores data including personal information and intellectual property for U.S. customers.

4. In March 2015, Alibaba Cloud set up its first data center in Silicon Valley for a large number of Internet companies. Every seven months, Alibaba Cloud opened a second data center in Virginia. In the following years, Alibaba Cloud did not set up a new data center in the US market.

However, 3 years after entering the US market, in 2018, Alibaba's cloud computing business, Alibaba Cloud, is about to slow down its expansion. In addition to concerns about the tightening of U.S. regulation of it, the main reason is that the return on initial investment is less than expected. This may be related to the operation mechanism of Alibaba Cloud's US sales team. Alibaba Cloud is reluctant to increase marketing expenses, the sales department emphasizes team performance, and individual employees cannot get commissions.

5. Therefore, the scale of Alibaba Cloud in the US market is actually insignificant, and the annual revenue is estimated to be less than $50 million. Alibaba's full-year fiscal 2021 revenue was RMB717.289 billion.

However, even if Alibaba Cloud does not grab much market share in the United States, the United States is likely to prohibit all Americans from using Alibaba's cloud services.

While China is open to cloud service companies in the United States, microsoft and Amazon's cloud business subsidiaries are doing business in China in large quantities, do they also have data security leakage problems for China? #康钊爆料 #
