Jack Ma: Alibaba "Biggest Entertainment Company in the World"
Alibaba CEO Jack Ma says the Chinese e-commerce giant is currently "the biggest entertainment company in the world".
Ma made the comment during a Q&A session at the Wall Street Journal digital tech event in Hollywood California.
He adds that his assumption is due to there being more people looking for entertainment, rather than shopping, on Alibaba's sites.
The CEO also notes he is in southern California to learn from Hollywood and explain to industry heads that, because of its size, China will not only be the biggest film market in the world, but the most important heading into the future.
It's been revealed that Alibaba may be close to purchasing a 37-percent stake in North American entertainment giant, Lionsgate.
