Corp have formed an alliance to open an online bank on the country's largest
e-commerce website, Taobao. The online bank is scheduled to begin operations in
October, ENN Weekly said. The alliance forms part of Alibaba's efforts to

selling their products in new markets; what is your company’s strategy for
engaging China?
