BABA CLOUD

Not sure if people realize but Aliyun was the official cloud sponsor for the 2025 CCTV Chinese new year festival. This is essentially Xi himself personally endorsing it.

Which cloud do you think all these tech companies will use to host their AI models?

IMO, this is also why Apple partnered with BABA.

Edit: I want to add that BIDU was always expected and supposed to be Apples AI partner. Then last minute that changed to BABA. I think Xi bought the dip.
