As it is discussed in the story, a small table maker, Vintage Industrial in U.S. may put the Chinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba in trouble. Are you kidding me?

Mr. Hankerson, the owner of Vintage Industrial found that Alibaba is selling a long list of counterfeits on its website. Only in December 2016, Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba promised the then president elect Mr. Trump to aid small businesses in U.S. It is ironic that these small enterprises are not getting any aid. Instead, they are getting harmed by Mr. Ma's company.

Now, Mr. Hankerson is wrestling with Alibaba. What will happen next? I will follow this story and update the latest as it rolls.
