Chinese tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent have long had the reputation of being some of the most active investors in China. They are behind a host of unicorns, from ride-hailing giant Didi to edtech platform Yuanfudao.
Now, they’re looking inwards, pledging to reinvest the money they make into new ventures ranging from supply chain digitization and grocery delivery, even if it means hammering their profits.
Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang said in an earnings call in May that the company will invest all its incremental profits into core strategic areas. These funds include the difference between the company’s current year profits and those of the previous year.
