U.S. sentiments towards Alibaba
AliExpress, a company owned by the Alibaba Group, is currently one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world. But despite its global presence and success, the online retail service is not very commonly used in the United States. What is more, approximately 15 percent of the country’s online users felt that the company should be banned from operating in the U.S.. The majority of the country’s consumers, however, did not have an opinion on the matter.
