Alibaba Resumes Plan for Hong Kong Listing in a Boost for the City

Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce giant, resumed plans to raise $10 billion or more in Hong Kong, giving the protest-racked Asian financial capital a much-needed vote of confidence. The company now expects the amount it raises to be closer to $10 billion, said a person familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions were not yet public.

A Hong Kong listing would help Alibaba further its ambitions to offer a broad array of digital services in China and around the world. It competes heavily with other Chinese heavyweights, like the internet conglomerate Tencent and JD.com, a rival e-commerce company. Alibaba listed its shares in New York five years ago in the world’s largest initial public offering.

Hong Kong is a part of China that operates under its own laws, making it a critical bridge between the mainland and the rest of the world. For years, multinational companies made the city their headquarters for the region because it offered access to China’s booming economy while ensuring legal protections and the free flow of information.

阿里巴巴重启香港上市计划，为推动香港发展助力

中国电子商务巨头阿里巴巴重新启动了在香港筹集或超100亿美元资金的计划，给予这个饱受抗议示威游行折磨的亚洲金融中心所急需的支持。一位知情人士称，该公司目前预计筹资规模更有可能接近100亿美元。由于相关讨论尚未公开，该知情人士要求匿名。

在香港上市将有助于阿里巴巴进一步实现其为中国和世界各地提供一系列广泛数字化服务的雄心。阿里强劲的竞争对手是国内像腾讯一样的互联网巨头和京东这样的电子商务巨头。五年前，阿里巴巴在纽约上市，创下了全球规模最大的首次公开募股记录。

香港是中国的一部分，拥有自己的法律制度，是内地与世界其他地区之间的重要桥梁。多年来，跨国公司把它们在中国地区的总部设立在香港，因为它是通往中国蓬勃发展经济的入口，同时，在香港，法律保护和信息自由流动能得以保障。
