Alibaba CEO Describes Difficulty of Dealing with Chinese Government

"I have a very strict talk to my teams. Never, ever do business with government - love them, don't marry them. So, we never do projects for government. If they come to us and say, 'Jack, can you help with this?' Good, I will introduce friends to you who are interested in doing that. Or if you wanted me to do it, I will do it free for you. Just next time don't come to me again. Don't. Because of that, we keep very good love-relationship with the government ...

We have a very strict process working with the government. If they want to do it, it's related with the national security, we work together. Any country, any citizen, anywhere, you have to work. I believe Google has to with the national security of the U.S.A. Facebook has to do it. Alibaba would definitely have to do it."
