America can’t win by targeting Alibaba
Financial Express Delhi
|November 21, 2025
IT WAS SUPPOSED to be a good week for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. The tech giant released its revamped Qwen app to users in China, with plans to roll out the ChatGPT-like tool internationally later on.
The company’s family of artificial intelligence (AI) models have proven extremely popular with global developers, but the release of the all-in-one app signalled its boldest push yet into the consumer market. The new Qwen platform goes beyond conversational AI, the company said, and can generate a full research report or produce a PowerPoint presentation in seconds. For now, Alibaba is offering it up for free—a move that could potentially pose a threat to Silicon Valley leader Open AI, which reportedly earns 70% of its annual revenue from consumers using ChatGPT.
But that news was largely overshadowed by a Financial Times report alleging Alibaba provides tech support for Chinese military operations according to a White House memo shared with the news outlet. The company has denied the claims as completely false and questioned the motivation behind the anonymous leak.

Repatriating culture
LOST, FOUND, OR STOLEN — populations across the globe draw their histories and origins from the artifacts that the generations prior left behind. Where they come from and where they end up over the centuries are often two separate stories. Last week, Pope Leo the XIV announced that the Vatican would be returning 62 artifacts that originally belonged to a host of indigenous communities based in Canada. The recent past has seen a variety of conversations on the real heritage of artifacts and where they ought to be displayed.
