中国和西方科技巨头的东南亚对决

这场战争不仅牵涉到中国企业和当地企业，还涉及谷歌(Google)、Facebook和亚马逊(Amazon)等跨国企业。今年早些时候亚马逊已进军新加坡。东南亚对决之前，中国和西方企业已干净利索地瓜分了主要市场：几家跨国科技巨头控制着美国和欧洲，阿里巴巴和腾讯在Facebook、谷歌搜索引擎和Twitter都被禁止的中国称雄。

“The importance of Asia is coming to the forefront,” says Karim Temsamani, president of Google’s Asia-Pacific operations.

“世界一半人口都在这里，未来15年这里的家庭财富增速将超过其他所有地区。这里再次成为世界的中心，那些了解这里的人及其使用技术的方式的企业将在该地区取得胜利。”
