Jack Ma is a Communist party member and you can't get to the level of Alibaba without hiring government officials to run parts of your company.

This is just a show of power from the Chinese government and has nothing to do with being a 'monopoly'.

Amazon pays millions and millions of dollars in taxes. Most reports about Amazon not paying taxes are by people that don't know how the tax system actually works in the United States.
