While he has a point, it's worth noting that at the same time China's military spending have tripled over the last 10 years [1]. Did Jack Ma say anything about that? Or is he, as a member of the China Communist Party allowed to criticize only US government?
He is an extremely talented person and smart entrepreneur, but it's hard to believe that his US foreign affair statements have no background agenda. It also could be that the main audience for his message is inside China, not outside of it.
