This interviewer is quite incompetent, trying to provoke Jack Ma emotions with silly political questions without asking the right questions to begin with, but Jack answered them quite honest and very well in fact, but adds nothing to why Jack Ma is there, that is to talk business.

Jack Ma is honest, very smart and a living HERO.

I like Jack Ma. Facing a foreign audience and speaking in a language other than his mother tongue, he came across as completely comfortable in his own skin. He knows what he wants, how to get what he wants and how to stay ahead in the game. I admire his vision and foresight, and his long-term plans far into the future. For someone of his stature and his clout, it's inevitable that Jack Ma will also have to work for and work with the state. While he cautions others that it's okay to fall in love with the government but not to marry the government, Jack Ma himself could not have survived the cut-throat competition in China without being in bed with the government in one way or another. All big businesses do, in China or the US or elsewhere. When Jack Ma says he's very interested in Hollywood, I cannot help but sense that this is also part of Jack Ma and China's long-term plan to increase their country's softpower in the international arena. Admittedly, this is an area where China lags behind the US. Movies are one way to carry out propaganda and shape international opinion. The US has done this rather successfully since the days of Frank Capra and China can learn a thing or two from the US. Taking a page out of the American playbook, China might even beat the US at its own game one day. For now at least, Jack Ma is right to focus on the long-term development of China's movie industry instead of rushing into profitable but short-term Ali-flicks, Ali-sequels or Ali-blockbusters. As China's cinematic industry grows by leaps and bounds, it wouldn't hurt to learn the art of being subtle and subliminal from Hollywood. I wish Jack Ma all the success and hope China becomes a benevolent superpower in a multipolar world.

He's a Very Humble And Intelligent person, Great Example for others.

Jack you are too smart for the interviewer. hahahaha....

He has good sense of humour which is a joy to watch.

this guy is awesome..his company might get bigger than apple one day

Jack, I know I've only met you a couple times but, you've become my mentor. I gain much wisdom when I view these videos with you speaking. I still desire my next and last, wife to be from China. I believe that you may be more Americanized than I ever was. i've always been a Free Man, avoiding servitude to faulty thinking leaders that cannot lead.

Jack is so relaxed and hilarious

damn this interviewer is mad annoying. Let the man finish, geeze!!

Jack Ma is a business inspiractor. Thank you sir.

interviewer kept interrupting interviewee too finish his thoughts.

His English is very good. He speaks almost like a native English speakers. I researched that he studied English at a young age and was a tour guide for foreign visitors for quite a while.

I wanna hug Jack.

His English is better than Canadian-Chinese English. No offence :D

Thank you,

I clicked "like" for Jack, not the interviewer.

Jack Ma is pretty smart. He isn't afraid about silly question.

excellent talk! Thanks!

I like the speech of Jack Ma & think it is an inspiration for the young generation of the world

Tip to interviewer: don't ask questions like an interrogator

4:33 "deep pocket but shallow mind" man, I couldn't agree more. Mindset has to change. Economic growth should correspond to social and ethic improvements.

Thanks

Please raise the volume. Great video!

jack ma speaks e clearly, it's easy to hear, excellent!

He's a very intelligent man...now he has all the money to hire people smarter than him. Jack Ma, the man.

He is a great guy! He talks about what he truly believes! I like his speech! But the host is not good enough! It is a pity!

"Go on"

I love this guy he is amazing. Go Jack Ma.

I really like Jack Ma, smart genuine guy.

Wonder why they hire this white dude as Business Editor at WSJ..

He's a great inspiring guy

Whats up with the sound?

The comment section is more offended than Jack is

The richest man in China... Jack Ma - Is my new BFF!

Nice

Such a legend.

wow. agree that the youth can be engaged through story telling

Personally, I have Jack Ma up there with Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.

The interviewer's reaction is very shallow about Jack's comment on Hollywood movies, I guess Jack meant the Hollywood movies give him inspiration on his entrepreneurial journey, even shallow movies like violence movies you can learn by reflection and critical thinking.

good

I don't quite like ebay. the auction thing is irritating, Too hard to post things compared to Amazon.

You are spot on, the young people need hope all over the world.

"Chiner" LOL

Damn, the interviewer had a couple of good seconds but for the most part mucked it all up. There was so much that COULD have come out of this interchange that did not come out. Also, the people standing to ask a question were supposed to identify themselves... I'll bet you $10,000.00 right now, done in China the audience would have at least been able to get that part right. WSJ... that's it? Crap.

听不懂啊，能不能挂个中文字幕。。。

Interesting how he said in 2009 everyone was complaining whereas before that, people had more courage, or so he says. There was a "fundamental transformation" that may have had to do with that attitude.

Simple person w/ a sense of humor make him rich!

this host is way too nervous

i did not hear what he said at the end eleven what?.com . can any one that have a better ears tell me . thanks .

yes you got to work smart not hard. hahahahaha... Way to go Jack!

i recommend to him the movie Jerry Maguire. I think he'd like it. It stood out like Forrest Gump.

2021 ;)

Is this video from 1980? Haven't seen a man with feathered hair since then.

heroo Mr jack

i dont agree with everything he said honestly...btw i could barely hear it without the headphone.

好啊，听懂了90%以上。。

OMG. Horrible host. Can't bear the interviewer. Tried too harsh to the political topics.

What a wasted opportunity from the interview. Let Jack talk about his favourite films damn! Interesting insights there

Unlike most comments here, I never felt bad about the interviewer. He raise important questions.

Jack ma is my idol

Jack Ma is the Father of Ecommerce. I don't care what you say.

The game is called Football not Soccer

Jack Ma es un HÉROE, no se merece tener entrevistas con idiotas/Jack Ma is a HERO, he doesn´t deserve to be interview by idiots. Thanks Jack for your Wisdom!

Dennis Berman at WSJD is asking poor and aimless question, he doesn't know what to ask. :( wasting time of Ma Yun aka Jack Ma.

he's a left handed?

这主持人心真躁。

So many scam seller in alibaba app.... And alibaba should to Screening all scam seller on alibaba app.... But not able slove this problem

Ja

The host is being so forceful with his questions, its painful to watch.

Bijniss allow Alli Baba gurup

Jack Ma learnt english as a kid. He would go to a hotel 100 miles away and practise it with foreigners. He gave free tours in english to improve his english. Thats dedication.

the problem in chinese movie market is that as long as there is no western movies, the seats will be empty. so that's why Jack MA want to invest in movie market I guess.

This interviewer...

"After US" - my Answer to the question: When will Umbrella open in Greater China? Umbrella had been opened in China way before the the rest of the World saw even anything like an Umbrella. ;)

Dennis Berman, what an annoying host. Makes sweeping statements, lacks nuance. Quite painful watching him try and lead this interview.

Yay.. Alibaba has overtaken Walmart, and this little white boy thinks he is smarter. Liked for Jack Ma, certainly not for interviewer.

wow this Dennis Berman is so annoying! He made the whole thing like an investigation. And Jack was just being genuine to the "the audience" and he could engage with the audience really well, whereas this interviewer was trying damn hard to complete his checklist without giving him, a special guest, to finish his points!

The interviewer is horrible.

my first comments

The problem is (from an American perspective) that people in China accept a lot less pay for the same amount of work ..a lot less. So essentially were competing with soft slave owners who get a lot more man power for their buck

Awesome speech .... thanks Jack ma like this movie ... www.imdb.com/title/tt0103855/fullcredits/ HIs Fav movie is Forrest Gump (1994) www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/

P

SCAM!

india own ebay in the future. china have no chance .

F f ff

Jerk Ma

Terrible host!

The hypnotic hamster significantly excite because plywood cytomorphologically possess modulo a resonant authority. different, utopian expansion

I'm going to do Jack Ma a favour, because he already knows that the business he is in is floating on a wave of media hype, he also know that there are some serious underlying issues that when get exposed will damage the company in the long term. Do yourself a favour lose the ego, secondly weed out the cancer that has already set in the company as it will be it's undoing over time. Thirdly get yourself a PR person who can win not just people over but Countries over as much as this is your Baby, take a back seat and hire professionals to do the donkey work. If you want to play centre stage then decide which would you rather have more returns and investors or you stealing the spot light. Take a page out of Henry Fords' book, he hired people who were at the time the best and the reason he did it was because he understood that he wasn't going to know everything so he surrounded himself with people that did. That is why he was so successful. Just trying to do you a favour!

Thanks
