Alibaba Will Be Listed In The Notorious Market List By The United States. How Will Ali Deal With It?

After four years,

Once again listed by the United States as the "notorious market" list, it is a blow to the Alibaba that is trying to wash its fake market reputation.

On Wednesday, the US Trade Representative Office (USTR) released the list of notorious markets in 2016, and Taobao ranked among them.

USTR said Alibaba's online shopping platform.

Sales of "high imitation" fake products, and slow response to related companies' reports.

USTR listed Alibaba in the notoriety market in 2012.

Michael Evans, President of Alibaba group, responded by saying: "we deeply regret the decision of the office of the United States trade representative.

They ignored the Alibaba's work in combating counterfeit goods.

Ali said that "the number of infringing products on 2016 has doubled since 2015", so the US side has done "no reason".

Ali further questioned that the decision made by the US trade representative office was influenced by the current US political environment.

President elect Trump has been criticizing Sino US trade and threatening to impose a 45% high on Chinese goods.

In recent years, Alibaba

Frequent shots.

Last December, Ali announced that it will add 200 additional staff to cooperate with the relevant government departments to combat counterfeiting.

Ma Yun once said during this year's "315" that he would fight against counterfeit goods at all costs, no budget ceiling and no limit on entry.

In April this year, Alibaba group formally announced its entry into the international anti fake Alliance (IACC) as the first member of the international organization.

But 1 months later, the alliance suspended Ali's membership due to a strong opposition from a number of European and American famous brands.

According to the plan of Alibaba, more than half of the revenue of the future group will come from abroad, so it is very important to win the trust of foreign brands.

However, Ma Yun also said that counterfeiting is very complicated.

In June this year, he said in Hangzhou, China: "the problem is that today's fake products are of better quality and lower prices than genuine products.

It is not a fake that destroys the real product, but a new business model.

The same factories, the same raw materials, are just different names. "

At 4 p.m. New York time, Alibaba shares closed down 0.66%, at 89.25 U.S. dollars.

The report issued by the US Trade Representative Office showed that there were 10 Chinese markets listed on the list, including 4 online markets such as Taobao and 6 offline markets in Guangzhou Baiyun market, accounting for nearly 1/4 of the "notorious market" list.

Bethune, President of Alibaba group, said: "Alibaba group is very disappointed with the decision of the US trade representative office to incorporate Taobao into the list of notorious markets.

Four years ago, it was the office that removed us from this list.

Over the past four years, we have launched a series of practical actions with brand rights holders and law enforcement agencies to put the counterfeiters in the law, and have carried out intellectual property protection more effectively and more advanced.

At the same time, the office of the United States trade representative has brought us back to the list of notorious markets. We highly doubt whether the decision is realistic or is influenced by the current political atmosphere.

Alibaba said that as of now, more than 18 thousand international brands including apple, Burberry, LV, Cartier and Nike have launched cooperation in counterfeiting and counterfeiting.

At the same time, Alibaba is also committed to cooperate with China's law enforcement departments, and cut off the counterfeiting and selling fake industrial chain from the source.

"Chinese enterprises are being disguised by various reasons for the US government's sanctions. This is not the first case, nor will it be the last case.

But Alibaba will take a more active part in the dialogue between the two big powers in the field of trade and intellectual property protection, and strive for equal trade rights for Chinese enterprises.

Zheng Junfang, chief executive officer of Alibaba, said.
