According to iResearch, (China Internet Research Center), Alibaba is the largest B2B company in China for the year 2006 based on user registration and e-commerce user share. Alibaba operations take place in two markets, the China market and the international market. These are www.alibaba.com.cn and www.alibaba.com, respectively.

We don't know, for example, if the gov't all of a sudden says: shut this down because X. As they have done with major proxies - there were news of google traffic being redirected to baidu in China as the gov't decided that was appropriate. So would you want to risk your cash here? Not in my view.
