Chinese Tech Giant Alibaba's Big IPO (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

The Chinese Internet giant Alibaba dominates the vast e-commerce business of China.  Next week, Alibaba goes public in the USA.  On Wall Street.  It could be the biggest IPO in history.  Anywhere.  And with it, Alibaba announces not just a vast fortune, but global aspirations.   Its charismatic founder and chairman Jack Ma says he’s out to change the world.  China’s throw-weight on the Internet is soaring, jostling America’s big players to make room.  This hour, On Point:  More thunder out of China.  Alibaba makes its global debut.  And we’ll look at the latest from Apple. / Tom Asbrook
