Why is Jack Ma donating supplies to Denmark?500,000 masks, 50,000 kits, 5,000 protective suits, is it wrong to give?
So far, the new coronary pneumonia in Europe has gone completely out of control. Perhaps many people put Italy, Spain, France and these big countries in mind, but ignored the small countries of Denmark. As a country with a population of just over 5 million, Denmark has seen more than 1,700 confirmed cases. That's the equivalent of 3 people being infected for every 10,000 people, or 30,000 people if this incident is placed in a large country with a population of 1 billion.
Is the Danish epidemic serious or not? I think it is serious.
But should Denmark be helped or not? I don't think it should be helped.
So, Jack Ma donated 500,000 masks and 50,000 kits and 5,000 protective suits to Denmark. In the end, is it worth it?
Why do you say Denmark can not help?
Because this country, in the international community has always played a despicable role.
Early in the epidemic, Danish painters replaced the five stars of the five-star red flag with five viruses, which were also put up in well-known Danish newspapers. This behavior of the Danes seriously hurt the feelings of the 1.4 billion Chinese people, and when we issued a protest, the Danes said that we respect human rights and freedom of speech!
The wanton abuse of others has also become part of Denmark's freedom of speech. I believe the best thing the Danes should do right now is to replace the 50 stars on the American flag with a virus. Unfortunately, I'm afraid the Danes don't have the guts to do that.
What is even more ridiculous is that the Danes' human rights, too, are a joke!
The Danish government, in order to avoid the country's people snapping up masks, actually said that wearing masks restricts human rights, and appealed to everyone not to wear masks.
Shortly afterward, the Danish government hit itself in the face and closed the whole country. Now that Danes don't even have basic personal freedoms, why don't they rise up against this human rights violating government?
All in all, I believe that Denmark, as a country, should not receive aid from countries around the world.
But why would Ma want to aid Denmark?
I think there are two main considerations.
The first aspect is that aiding Denmark, which is humanitarian aid, is conducive to Alibaba's establishment of a good international image.
Like countries, some multinational enterprises need to establish a good international image. A more common practice is to set up a charity fund and an environmental protection fund to help the poor and manage the environment. Of course, taking the initiative to donate materials in the face of major disasters is also a major means of building a good image.
On the other hand, aiding Denmark is conducive to Alibaba's business layout in Denmark.
Ma Yun's Alibaba, in the European market is far behind the U.S. Amazon, one of the main reasons is that Europeans have a better perception of Amazon, because it is an American company. So, Jack Ma's donation of large quantities of supplies is needed to grab the European market with Amazon.
Alibaba not only aided Denmark, but many countries around the world received aid from Jack Ma. In essence, this is just a businessman's expansion of his business path, and there's no need to over-interpret it.
The last question is, will Jack Ma's aid, make a difference?
I think the effect is limited, I'm afraid.
As we all know, the ideological battles in Europe and America have always been dominated by officialdom and the media. The vast majority of European countries, big and small, are dead set on serving the United States. Because the European countries, originally, are just one commercial stronghold established by the United States, they have formed an unbreakable network of relations through extensive division of labor and close cooperation. Trying to change the inherent arrogance and prejudice of these countries with a single snowball's worth of aid is almost a pipe dream.
It is conceivable that after some time has passed since this incident, the Danish media and officials, once again, will start the propaganda machine to stigmatize the Eastern powers. Of course, if you get to this incident, he will simply apologize, in a media outlet with a much smaller circulation.
This kind of "slap in the street, apologize in the alley" behavior, the Western countries do not know how many times. France has done it before, and Denmark is likely to do it again.
So I think it's possible that Jack Ma has been wronged this time.
Do you think Jack Ma's donation is effective? Feel free to leave a comment!
