“The general consensus of Chinese companies in this part of the world is they’ll just bulldoze their way through.” Why China's tech giants struggle outside China.

Last year, Alibaba’s Vietnam operation put together a plan to win big in toilet paper.

In the company’s home base of China, toilet paper is a popular online purchase and volumes are typically huge. Staff bought hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth and offered it online at low prices, say people familiar with what happened.

Because Chinese companies, overall, just start to learn how to operate overseas, most of the case less than 5 years. China's domestic market is big enough to build a giant company and hence overseas market is less lucrative, is second priority. Will catch up soon.

A country that steals its technology isn’t gong to win anything! China is in deep shit & they don’t even know it. That’s how screwed up the country is.

The eco systems are totally different.

They raised not by free market. I remember news channel in China broadcasting ads in news hours for the tech companies.

That a very wrong opinion.. And even that from such a big journal.. To check their tech influence.. Just visit india...

Get Back!!! safety net!!!

that's the truth. they're tech-appplication giants, not tech-research giants.

Because the quality sucks I reckon

Its called stiff competition. I know...I lived through the age when the Mexican Kartel took over California's building trade.....with the approval of Jimmy Carter, Moonbeam, AFL-CIO and the defunct Carpenters Union. All to benefit the cause.

Go back to China!!!
