Expert Quotes
“Digital sovereignty is increasingly being treated as a question of strategic control, resilience and competitiveness — not only compliance or data location. Organizations must evaluate where concentration risks could affect operational continuity, legal certainty or bargaining power.”

About this comparison
Alibaba Cloud is #4 globally and dominant in China and Asia-Pacific with ~30% Chinese market share. For organizations operating in Asia, it provides cost-competitive infrastructure. However, Chinese government data laws create mirror sovereignty risks to the US CLOUD Act — making truly neutral, decentralized infrastructure increasingly valuable.
