> even my company will sale or buy some personal data, we will gather as much data as we can.

What does this even mean? What is the subtext here? Because your company (which one?) is regarded as high status (higher than Alibaba?) / serious about data protection (but then you say it sells personal data?) ?

The practice of your company has no bearing of the practice of Alibaba. Alibaba could be better, Alibaba could also be worse.

Disclosure: I'm a Chinese working oversea and am genuinely interested in reacquaint myself with the business practice in China.
