(Hangzhou Xinhua News Agency) Jack Ma, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency recently that resigning from the post of Chairman is a retreat for both the company and himself.

Ma Yun said that a company with a great mission and vision cannot rely on one person to go on, but must cultivate talents through the construction of systems, cultures and systems.If Ali's career is compared to a 4times; 100-meter race, I just ran the first leg.I think it is better to say it is progress than retreat, which is progress for both the company and the individual.

He said: I fully believe in (the current group CEO) Zhang Yong and his future talent team.I have never been afraid of the future, nor have I been afraid of today, I am just in awe of the future.I know that with my personal ability and energy, I may not be the best candidate to lead the company in the future.It's not that I don't want to run, but the best candidate is not me.Since there is the best candidate, why not choose?

Ali had previously made a promise to create 1 million new jobs in the United States.In this regard, Ma Yun said that this commitment is based on the premise of friendly strategic cooperation between China and the United States, and the rational and objective growth of Sino-US trade.Today's situation has destroyed the original trade foundation, and the previous commitments cannot be fulfilled, but we will continue to work hard to promote the healthy development of Sino-US trade.
