According to Ma,the nation has spent a lot of money on foreign conflicts and invested heavily in Wall Street, rather than working to benefit its own general public.In the past 30 years,he said,America has been involved in 13 wars and spent over $14.2 trillion.But what if the country had spent some of that money on building infrastructure(基础设施)and helping white-collar and blue-collar workers?
"You're supposed to spend money on your own people,"he said."We should spend money on those who are not good at school." Ma also noted that the financial crisis in 2008 wiped out $19.2 trillion and destroyed 34 million jobs globally.
By responding to CNBC anchor and New York Times columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin's question about the backlash(强烈反对)on globalization,Ma said that globalization needs to be improved and should be inclusive.
"This is what President-elect Donald Trump wants to solve," he said. "Hundreds of years ago,globalization was controlled by several kingdoms and emperors.In the past 30 years,globalization was controlled by 60,000 big companies.What if we can help to support 20 million small businesses doing cross-border business in the next 30 years?"
Ma also commented on President Xi Jinping's speech,which was delivered during the opening ceremony of the forum,saying that Xi's commitments take responsibility for the world's second largest economy.

Foreign students who have completed their postgraduate degrees in Chinese or overseas institutions are now allowed to find a job in mainland China without any previous work experience.
The Ministries of Foreign Affairs,Education,and Human Resources and Social Security co-released a document on January 12 announcing the move to liberalize the domestic job market to attract international talents.Previously, students had to obtain one of three types of permits to be able to work in mainland China.They were a) high-end talent,b) special talents (an applicant with a master's degree or above and no less than two years working experience) and c) temporary seasonal non-technical jobs.
According to the ministries' joint document,foreign postgraduates who have finished their studies—a master's degree or above-gained a B grade (or 80 out of 100) and left school within a year are qualified.Students must be 18 or above and have no criminal record when they apply for both the Alien Employment License and the Alien Employment Permit.Applications are accepted at any local office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security.
