Chinese Vulcan salute ?
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA.N) expects the initiative to create a million U.S. jobs as each company adds a position, company spokesman Bob Christie said in a phone call.
Trump and Ma emerged from their meeting at Trump Tower in New York together. The president-elect told reporters they had a "great meeting" and would do great things together. Ma called Trump "smart" and "open-minded." He said the two mainly discussed supporting small businesses, especially in the Midwest.
Ma said that businesses such as farmers and small clothing makers could tap the Chinese market directly through Alibaba.
He called the meeting with Trump "very productive."
