Increased regulation of China's consumer tech industry has seriously dented company revenues, with widespread implications. But the digitisation of industry - supported by government policies - provides an opportunity for growth, which could help the overall digital economy grow by an average of 16% per year over the next decade.

China's Digital Economy: Divided But Growing

Is This The Right Time to Invest in Alibaba?

Alibaba's mixed Q2 results show that the company is more than likely to continue to underperform as long as the structural issues of China's economy are not resolved.
