　　"China has been very focused on exporting," Mr Ma said, "it should focus on importing. China should learn to buy."

　　The flamboyant Mr Ma, who once dressed up in leather and a Mohican wig and sang Elton John's Can you Feel the Love Tonight? to employees, said he had learned a lot about corporate values and missions in the US - from companies such as GE and Walmart.

　　个性张扬的马云曾经穿着皮衣，戴着莫西干式假发，在员工面前演唱艾尔顿·约翰的《今夜爱无限》。他说自己从通用电气、沃尔玛等美国企业学习到很多关于企业价值和使命的东西。
