I used to think of Alibaba as the one legitimate Chinese company. Their product seems sound to me: we'll navigate the complex world of Chinese factory for you and take a cut off the top.
But apparently, most of their growth since IPO has come from mainland sales. Which seems to go against the narrative I just stated. Their Edgar SEC filings don't break out revenue as much as I would like. [0]
So are they a scam? The very opinionated Deep Throat IPO seems to think so. [1]
