?️小作业：

1. Why is Alibabas decision to allow WeChat Pay on Taobao and Tmall considered a "historic move"?

A) Because Alibaba and Tencent have never collaborated before.

B) Because it marks the first time WeChat Pay will be accepted on any e-commerce platform.

C) Because Alibaba traditionally pushed its own payment system, Alipay.

D) Because it is part of a broader global expansion strategy for Alibaba.

Alibaba to allow payment through Tencents WeChat Pay for the first time on e-commerce apps

From: CNBC

Chinese tech giant Alibaba on Wednesday said that its core Taobao and Tmall e-commerce platforms will now allow payment through Tencents WeChat app for the first time.

Previously, Alibabas Chinese e-commerce sites only accepted limited payment options and pushed WeChat Pay rival Alipay as one of the main ways to pay. Alipay is run by Ant Group, an affiliate of Alibaba that was also founded by Jack Ma.

“We have always been open to collaborations, and have actively explored interoperability and partnerships with our peers,” an Alibaba spokesperson told CNBC. “We are constantly working to enhance user experience by making shopping more convenient, enjoyable, and efficient.”

Taobao and Tmall will likely begin accepting payments through WeChat Pay this month, a source familiar with the matter who was not authorized to disclose the details publicly, told CNBC.

The historic move comes as Alibaba looks to reignite growth in its China e-commerce business, which has been under pressure from competitors like JD.com amd Temu-owner PDD.

Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu has previously said that the Taobao and Tmall business should return to growth toward the latter half of the firms fiscal year 2025.

WeChat has more than 1.3 billion users globally, the majority of whom is located in China. WeChat Pay is one of the biggest mobile payments apps in the country.

By allowing users to transact through WeChat Pay on Taobao and Tmall, Alibaba could therefore increase its market share in less developed parts of China, the source said.

The companys biggest rival JD.com has also allowed WeChat Pay to be used on its platform for a long time.

Another theme in the background is that the regulator urged these firms to bring down their so-called walled gardens that block competitors products.

Alibaba and Tencent are two of Chinas largest internet companies that have built dominance through their sprawling services, which often center around their so-called super apps. That prominence created a situation where, for a long time, rivals would not allow access to each others services on their respective platforms.

Tech giants started to change these practices over the past few years. In 2021, Tencent began allowing users to access external links in one-on-one chats. For example, if someone shared a link from Alibabas Taobao in WeChat, a user would be able to open that without leaving the messaging app. That same year, some of Alibabas other apps began supporting WeChat Pay.

Last week, Chinas market regulator said Alibaba had completed a three-year regulatory “rectification” process following a 18.23 billion yuan (.6 billion) antitrust fine the company received in 2021.
