Reading Time: < 1 minute I heard about this thing first from reading Home Inns’ IPO prospectus. Don’t know how big a deal it is. But it was ineresting to see Home Inns’ (Rujia) being mentioned again in this list. I did not see the Jinjiang (2006.HK) being mentioned here, a bit surprised. Think that as a “best hotel” award, if

Separately, Ma Yun, the big mouth at Alibaba, speaks again. We all know he likes to brag about how great will Alibaba become, but this time he is saying “China does not have a
