As we all know, Alibaba is a well-known Internet manufacturer in China, but the author prefers to describe Alibaba as technology companies. Regarding the statement that "Alibaba is a technology company", many netizens expressed doubts. Alibaba is obviously an e-commerce company, so what does it have to do with technology?
In fact, Alibaba has already changed its way of living. As the saying goes, technology is the primary productive force. Although Alibaba is an Internet company, its core competitiveness is still technology. In the past few years, Alibaba has established technology-related companies such as DAMO Academy, flat headgear , Alibaba Cloud , and has been making arrangements in AI, computers, big data, and cloud computing . It has long become a giant company in the domestic technology field.
According to data, among domestic private enterprises, Alibaba's R&D investment in 2022 exceeded 57.8 billion yuan, ranking second in the country. At present, Alibaba has become a leader in domestic and even the world in the fields of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and computers, which proves the technological strength of Alibaba .
Take artificial intelligence as an example. According to the "2022 AI 2000 Artificial Intelligence Influence List" released by Aminer, Alibaba has squeezed into the Top 10, which is also the first time that a Chinese technology company has squeezed into the top ten computer network research institutions in the world. You should know that usually the top American universities and American technology giants are on the list, such as MIT , University of Michigan , and Stanford. Alibaba's ability to be on the list has proved its "innocence", and its technological strength cannot be underestimated.
Take cloud computing as an example. According to the latest market share data released by Gartner, Alibaba Cloud has squeezed into the top 3 in the world and became the third largest cloud computing company in the world. Alibaba Cloud ranks first in the Asia-Pacific region and China region. And it achieved profitability for the first time in 2022, which is also the only cloud computing company in China that has turned from loss to profit.
Alibaba Cloud has been established for 13 years and has been in losses in the first 12 years. The loss in 2021 is still as high as 2.251 billion yuan. But after entering its 13th year, Alibaba Cloud achieved a counterattack, with profits reaching 1.146 billion yuan this year. As Alibaba Cloud executives said, this is the result of Alibaba Cloud's long-term insistence on technology investment.
And the reason why Alibaba Cloud has such strong competitiveness is its core barrier is its self-developed Feitian Cloud operating system, CPU chip, etc., such as Yitian 710, Yiying, etc. Among them, Feitian Cloud operating system can connect millions of servers around the world and build it into a "super computer" with amazing computing power.
The importance of technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing is not inferior to 5G. Chinese technology companies can gain a leading position in these fields, which also has far-reaching significance and important impact on the development of China's science and technology. Obviously, it is not an exaggeration to define Alibaba as a technology company. Many netizens also publicly shouted, where have those who questioned them gone? Data won't lie!
The ultimate goal of China-US technology competition is technological strength. If more Chinese companies can join scientific research and insist on independent research and development, I believe that China's technological strength will be greatly improved.
