      @@bigdrill8881 Your argument might be valid when we are talking about Google or Microsoft (due to, for example, Aliyun, which is part of Alibaba, is being used for some national infrastructure as well, while Microsoft has to get another company to run Azure for them in China), but if we are talking about specifically the shopping side of Amazon, it's pretty much outdated for years in China now, and thus it doesn't even matter whether they got equal freedom or not.
      Also, I'd say the willingness of these companies treating the Chinese market as an important one is way more important than their freedom of doing business in China. Of course foreign companies won't have the same level of freedom as a local company, but IIRC they still can own 100% of a Chinese company under certain criteria, which means they should be free enough.
      And above all, China didn't use anything but set in stone laws and regulations to restrict foreign companies and I suppose any other country should do the same to be fair.

      野龍 Good points. Amazon might seem outdated in comparison to the chinese e-commerce giants, but if the legal frameworks were on a, say, European level, I'm sure that they could quite quickly catch up with the market expectations and probably even exceed them given some time. The best thing about it would be that they would actually be competing against some pretty forward-thinking companies, and that's usually when true innovation happens.

    I know this is an old video, but the amazon (or big tech in general) problem is a little more complicated than we think imo. If amazon gets split because they sell products they own on their market, then companies like WalMart, Costco, and other markets that carry signature label items would need to get split as well. Companies began carrying their own brand of products well before amazon did, and while they are the largest, if it got broken up, then it sets the precedence that companies shouldn't focus on growth which is the goal of most companies. How big should we get? How much profit is too much profit? I doubt shareholders are thinking that way. But I think the more likely reason I've heard for an Amazon split is the fact that they collect sales metrics from sellers on their platform and then use that data against them by making cheap substitutes to items that are profitable. That is a really dirty tactic and is I'm baffled that that doesn't violate antitrust laws. But something needs to be done about big tech. I'd start with tightening up a lot of the lax internet laws that give them free reign to govern the net, e.g. safe harbor.

    I enjoyed your breakdown of the Amazon ecosystem. The fascinating thing about Amazon to me is the way they got to where they are. They didn't have AWS until more recently. The way Bezos got Amazon to that point is by having enough investment to go public and operate at a loss for many years and take advantage of the fact that online purchases were not taxed (vs brick and mortar). Once they got a strong foothold in the market and started making a profit, they were able to start AWS and continue with the low retail prices. Now they no longer lobby against online sales tax which will hurt small online companies as it is difficult for a small business to navigate the tax collection of multiple states, which makes it almost impossible to compete on price and then force many to sell thru Amazon. Then, if you have a successful product, Amazon can choose to cut you out completely.

    The problem with the 'Break Up Tech' argument is that they're big players in a very, very small pond. I'm really unsure of how you argue that Amazon needs to be dismantled when Wal-mart is five times its size. The other problem is none of these companies possess the qualities any economist or regulator would use to define a monopoly. In particular, lack of competition. Every monopoly relies on high barriers to entry which prevent competitors from invading their niche. So if Google is a monopoly, then what is Bing, or Yahoo, or DuckDuckGo? If Amazon is a monopoly, what's Rakuten or Alibaba? On the internet, the competition is literally just a click away. Also, if these companies have monopolies, where are the associated rises in pricing that come with it?
    These 'regulatory' actoins aren't customer protection, it's *lobbyist* protection. It doesn't protect Amazon's customers, or Apple's customers, or Google's customers. It protects the moribund, technologically illiterate companies they're beating in the marketplace. And Facebook's users aren't its customers, they're its willing victims.

    So a quick summary:
    Amazon is capable of dominating multiple fields of business because it has the Amazon Web Services (AWS) (which is an on-demand cloud storage service) acting as the main source of profit, making it possible to build new domains without worrying about profit and focusing on providing the best services with the lowest prices, which other companies can't do, since they require/depend-on profit to continue. This helps Amazon grow in size and increases its revenue, without necessarily increasing its profit. This growth in size helps it support its other products using a bigger platform.

    I mean airlines do this kind of predatory pricing, but to the extreme.
    Examples:
    Frontier added a route out of American’s fortress hub in Phoenix to Fargo. Brand new service. American catches wind and adds two daily Fargo flights at a severely discounted rate. Both airlines lose money. And once frontier gives up, American is likely to dump the route. However, frontier didn’t establish more market presence in american’s fortress hub.
    Another example would be airlines physically not letting other carriers acquire gates at a gate restricted airport. Northwest/Delta would be a good example not letting Southwest into Minneapolis for years.
    Anyway, I doubt you’ll see this but I think this would be a great video to watch.
