阿里巴巴集團(tuán)創(chuàng)始人馬云表示，無法兌現(xiàn)此前向美國總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普做出的承諾。由于中美兩國貿(mào)易關(guān)系陷入困境，阿里做不到在美國市場創(chuàng)造100萬個(gè)新的就業(yè)崗位。

上周三，馬云接受新華網(wǎng)采訪時(shí)透露：“當(dāng)前的局面已破壞之前承諾的前提。”

2017年1月9日，在特朗普宣誓就職美國總統(tǒng)之前，馬云在紐約市的特朗普大廈同他會(huì)面，期間許下了承諾。

當(dāng)時(shí)，馬云在承諾中對就業(yè)崗位的界定就引起外界質(zhì)疑。一些美國經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家懷疑阿里巴巴的影響不會(huì)那么大。當(dāng)時(shí)馬云表示，希望通過阿里巴巴的平臺，幫助100萬美國小企業(yè)和農(nóng)戶向中國市場乃至整個(gè)亞洲市場出售農(nóng)產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)。至于具體如何轉(zhuǎn)化為100萬就業(yè)崗位，他并沒有說明。

無論如何，馬云上周三的言論顯示出中方的看空情緒，此前美國已對500億美元中國商品征收關(guān)稅，本月又對2000億美元商品征稅。馬云稱，他的承諾是基于中美友好合作，且“雙邊貿(mào)易保持理性客觀”。

馬云計(jì)劃一年后卸下阿里巴巴董事局主席的職位，2020年年度股東大會(huì)后卸任董事會(huì)成員。剛開始傳出消息，馬云接受《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示上周便會(huì)卸任，幾天之后公布的正式計(jì)劃略有出入。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

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.
