Alibaba Files to Go Public in the U.S. – NYTimes.com Last year, the value of all merchandise sold on Alibaba exceeded $248 billion, more than the volume on eBay and Amazon combined. Nearly 20 percent of those purchases were made through mobile phones in the last three months of last year. American companies like Google and eBay can only dream of making the kind of profit margin that Alibaba enjoys. Last year, Alibaba had net income of $3.56 billion on revenue of $7.95 billion. That translates into a profit margin of roughly 45 percent. // The F-1. Time for investors to Open Wallets

My old gold standard for the best VIE structure was Baidu. I now award that to Alibaba. Here is the proof, including for comparison New Oriental, which is perhaps the lead standard.

China’s leaning towers | FT Alphaville Both Nomura and UBS have as their base case government attempts to limit the impact of property downturn with GDP staying in or around 7.3 – 7.4 per cent. They think the measures could include relaxing current property policies, speeding up social housing construction, a quicker removal of hukou barriers in lower-tier cities, increasing infrastructure spending, and finally, monetary and credit easing. Whether that will do anything more than put off, and exacerbate, a problem that will be have to be dealt with anyway is the obvious long term question, while the short term issue is whether the government can in reality support a sector which threatens to get out of its control. As we said before, the property market in China may well pose the kind of systemic risk that banks and LGFVs do not and China’s scope for stimulus is narrowing.

The more the enemies want to destroy our unity, the more we must keep united. We must unite. All nationalities must unite against terrorism.

Agriculture: Bring back the landlords | The Economist Officials have long spoken of the virtues of scale farming, but of all the ways of achieving this—including renting land to agri-businesses or to farmers from other areas—the idea of family farms run by locals has a particularly strong appeal.

Evan Osnos–China’s Censored World – NYTimes.com The most difficult part of writing about contemporary China is capturing its proportions: How much of the story is truly inspiring, and how much of it is truly grim? How much of its values are reflected in technology start-ups and stories of self-creation, and how much of its values are reflected in the Great Firewall and abuses of power? It is tempting to accept censorship as a matter of the margins — a pruning that leaves the core of the story intact — but altering the proportions of a portrait of China gives a false reflection of how China appears to the world at a moment when it is making fundamental choices about what kind of country it will become. // this year’s must-read China book, here on Amazon

How the China lobby is building a Great Wall of influence | Business Spectator Since the publication of Bob Carr’s Diary of a Foreign Minister, much of the subsequent media coverage has focused either on his snobbish tendencies or on his supposed singling out of the Israel lobby’s influence on Australian foreign policy. Yet little has been made of the other lobby Carr refers to in the book — namely, the China lobby. Unlike the Israel lobby, which boasted its own faction within caucus — the self-described ‘falafel faction’ — the China lobby is altogether less cohesive and organised. Nonetheless, Carr saw fit to refer to them as such and, early on in his term as foreign minister, was keenly aware of their concerns.
