China exports grew 21.8 percent year-on-year in the first two months of 2026, the biggest gain in four years. Semiconductors and automobiles were the fastest-growing categories.

Alibaba reported revenue of 237 billion yuan in its latest quarter, growing 6 percent year-over-year. The e-commerce giant's cloud division continued to expand with 28 percent growth.

Alibaba's marketplace platforms maintained steady growth despite increased market competition.

The company plans to invest 10 billion yuan in AI research and development.

CEO Zhang Yong stated that digital transformation and AI are core to future competitiveness.

Alibaba expects continued growth momentum in the coming quarters.
