"China is on its way to becoming the world's largest consumer, driven by rising income and a growing middle class of 300 million. There is no better time than now for trade-oriented countries to seize this opportunity to export to China as the country continues to open its doors wider for global trade. Quality Thai agricultural products such as fragrant rice, durian and other tropical fruits in particular are sought after by the Chinese consumer," said Jack Ma, Executive Chairman and co-founder of Alibaba Group. "Given Thailand's unique strengths in people and culture, we are confident of its future and growth potential under the government's Thailand 4.0 policy. We are committed to being a long term partner of Thailand to help enable its digital transformation."
