Alibaba's Jack Ma, Facebook founder Zuckerberg hold talks on innovation

Xinhua, March 20, 2016 Adjust font size:

Alibaba Group Holdings's Executive Chairman Jack Ma discussed with Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg about innovation at the China Development Forum held in Beijing Saturday.

Innovation is an effective way to solve problems with technology, according to Ma. Zuckerberg said innovation is helpful in solving problems in the coming 10 years or more.
