Amazon’s cloud computing services have become the company’s cash cow. And, of course, the Internet giant doesn’t want to pass up the lucrative cloud computing market in China. But as every foreign Internet company that has set foot in China can attest, entering the Chinese market is no easy feat. For years, negotiations stalled; and when Amazon finally had a deal, new government policies soon crippled it. In this article from Caijing magazine, reporters Zhang Jun and Song Wei detail Amazon’s bumpy journey in China. They also take a stance by warning against using old ways of governance to regulate new industries. To prevent the shrinking of foreign investment, they urge the government to issue clear regulations and implementation processes. getAbstract recommends their analysis to corporate executives with eyes on the Chinese market and anyone curious about why foreign Internet companies struggle in China.
