Referring to 2008 recession, Ma pointed out that the financial crisis had wiped out 19.2 trillion dollars in the US alone and destroyed 34 million jobs globally. 
“So what if the spent on Wall Street and the Middle East was spent on the Mid-West of the United States, developing the industry there? That could change a lot,” he asked.
"It’s not that other countries steal jobs from you guys, it is your strategy!" he reiterated.
