马云承诺打水漂！无法助美国增加百万就业岗位全怪特朗普

阿里巴巴集团创始人马云表示，无法兑现此前向美国总统唐纳德·特朗普做出的承诺。由于中美两国贸易关系陷入困境，阿里做不到在美国市场创造100万个新的就业岗位。

上周三，马云接受新华网采访时透露：“当前的局面已破坏之前承诺的前提。”

2017年1月9日，在特朗普宣誓就职美国总统之前，马云在纽约市的特朗普大厦同他会面，期间许下了承诺。

当时，马云在承诺中对就业岗位的界定就引起外界质疑。一些美国经济学家怀疑阿里巴巴的影响不会那么大。当时马云表示，希望通过阿里巴巴的平台，帮助100万美国小企业和农户向中国市场乃至整个亚洲市场出售农产品和服务。至于具体如何转化为100万就业岗位，他并没有说明。

无论如何，马云上周三的言论显示出中方的看空情绪，此前美国已对500亿美元中国商品征收关税，本月又对2000亿美元商品征税。马云称，他的承诺是基于中美友好合作，且“双边贸易保持理性客观”。

马云计划一年后卸下阿里巴巴董事局主席的职位，2020年年度股东大会后卸任董事会成员。刚开始传出消息，马云接受《纽约时报》采访时表示上周便会卸任，几天之后公布的正式计划略有出入。（财富中文网）

Alibaba founder Jack Ma said the Chinese company will no longer create one million new jobs in America, as he had previously promised U.S. President Donald Trump due to the rocky trade relationship between the two nations.

On last Wednesday Ma told Xinhua, a Chinese news site, “The current situation has already destroyed the original premise.”

Ma made his commitment on Jan. 9, 2017, prior to Trump’s inauguration in a meeting at Trump Tower in New York City.

That statement had been met at the time with some dubiousness because of how Ma characterized the jobs, and U.S. economists’ doubts that the impact could be that high. Ma had said he wanted to enable one million small businesses and farmers in America access to sell goods to customers at Alibaba in China and throughout Asia. How that would translate into one million jobs was left undefined.

Nonetheless, Ma’s statement underlines Chinese bearishness in the wake of tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods imported to the U.S. on top of $50 billion covered by an earlier round. Ma said his commitment relied on friendly cooperation between the U.S. and China, and on the “rational and objective premise of bilateral trade.”

Ma plans to step down in a year as the company’s chairman, and remain on the board through 2020. Ma originally said he would leave the position last week, and then seemingly contradicted on-the-record statements to the New York Times a few days later.
