> billions of yuan flowing from Chinese consumers to Bezos' pocket

I started my post with the assumption that Amazon is never going to get big in China. Regardless of whether Bezos is nice to the CCP or not, the CCP is not going to allow Amazon to displace Alibaba.

My comment is referring competing for business in the rest of the world. Other countries where Alibaba and Amazon are both trying to gain marker share.

I didn't see the part including and following "Obviously they aren't getting more Chinese business..." when I made my comment. I don't think we disagree, then.

I think China is fighting hard to block any other Western companies from entering their markets.

I suspect Apple is tolerated only because so much of Apple's manufacturing costs are in China.
