Alibaba Resumes Plan for Hong Kong Listing in a Boost for the City
Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant, resumed plans to raise $10 billion or more in Hong Kong, giving the protest-racked Asian financial capital a much-needed vote of confidence. The company now expects the amount it raises to be closer to $10 billion, said a person familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions were not yet public.
A Hong Kong listing would help Alibaba further its ambitions to offer a broad array of digital services in China and around the world. It competes heavily with other Chinese heavyweights, like the internet conglomerate Tencent and JD.com, a rival e-commerce company. Alibaba listed its shares in New York five years ago in the world’s largest initial public offering.
Hong Kong is a part of China that operates under its own laws, making it a critical bridge between the mainland and the rest of the world. For years, multinational companies made the city their headquarters for the region because it offered access to China’s booming economy while ensuring legal protections and the free flow of information.

阿里巴巴重啟香港上市計劃,為推動香港發展助力
中國電子商務巨頭阿里巴巴重新啟動了在香港籌集或超100億美元資金的計劃,給予這個飽受抗議示威游行折磨的亞洲金融中心所急需的支持。一位知情人士稱,該公司目前預計籌資規模更有可能接近100億美元。由于相關討論尚未公開,該知情人士要求匿名。
在香港上市將有助于阿里巴巴進一步實現其為中國和世界各地提供一系列廣泛數字化服務的雄心。阿里強勁的競爭對手是國內像騰訊一樣的互聯網巨頭和京東這樣的電子商務巨頭。五年前,阿里巴巴在紐約上市,創下了全球規模最大的首次公開募股記錄。
香港是中國的一部分,擁有自己的法律制度,是內地與世界其他地區之間的重要橋梁。多年來,跨國公司把它們在中國地區的總部設立在香港,因為它是通往中國蓬勃發展經濟的入口,同時,在香港,法律保護和信息自由流動能得以保障。
