Hangzhou, China, February 6, 2020 – Alibaba Group said today it has launched a global B2B sourcing platform to connect medical-goods suppliers of all sizes with frontline medical personnel trying to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus in China. 

The Alibaba Global Direct Sourcing Platform will allow Alibaba Group to leverage its digital technology and expertise to transparently and efficiently put to use a RMB1 billion fund that was established on January 25, two days after the city of Wuhan – at the epicenter of the outbreak – was quarantined. The fund’s purpose is to purchase vital medical supplies within and outside China to support medical personnel in Wuhan and other places affected by the virus. 

Following disruptive world events, the Malaysian marketplace has become cautionary, from risks from the US-China trade war, to policy changes after the 2018 general election. Multinational companies offloading their assets and subsidiaries in Malaysia as part of strategic changes have made the market an arena for M&A opportunities. However, these opportunities may not always be achievable. Instead, fixing the problem, or even closing the business, may prove the more viable approach.
