阿里巴巴云助力中国学生绕过中国严格的互联网管制继续上课

疫情间学校关闭，许多留学生回国上网课继续学习，由于所谓的 "防火墙"，学生们难以观看在线教程或查阅课件。中国的阿里巴巴集团控股有限公司(BABA.N)正在抓住新冠病毒带来的新商机：帮助外国大学绕过中国严格的互联网管制，让中国大陆学生继续上课。大学协会告诉路透社记者，在病毒开始在全球范围内传播后不久，阿里巴巴的云计算部门就与机构成员会面，并称可以在48小时内建立网络，作为大学和中国大陆学生之间的桥梁。

搭建此网络成本也相当高，通过虚拟专用网络（VPN）等连接服务绕过“防火墙”，在中国没有牌照是非法的，只有少数VPN供应商获准运营。阿里巴巴云通过其云企业的网为高校提供VPN选择，美国Fortinet公司是其软件供应商。该服务允许学生没有延迟地访问存储在云端的来自国外大学的内容，或者在线观看相关学习内容。当学生浏览网页寻找只与学习相关的内容时，也提供类似VPN的体验。

阿里巴巴云对此还表示： “在疫情期间，云计算的技术在帮助大家适应新的生活状态起到重要的作用，我们的技术提供了一个解决方案，满足了学生继续学习的重要需求，这不应该与任何政治事务混为一谈。” 此外，相对于阿里巴巴的主营电商业务，云计算部门的收入微不足道，也一直在积极推广其服务，并计划在三年内投入280亿美元建设下一代数据中心。

Schools were closed during the epidemic, and many international students returned to China to continue their online lessons. Due to the so-called "firewall", it was difficult for students to watch online tutorials or access courseware. China’s Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (BABA.N) is seizing the new business opportunities brought about by the coronavirus: helping foreign universities bypass China's strict Internet controls and allowing mainland Chinese students to continue their classes. The Association of Universities told Reuters that shortly after the virus began to spread globally, Alibaba’s cloud computing department met with members of the organization and stated that it could establish a network within 48 hours to serve as a bridge between universities and students in mainland China.

The cost of building this network is also quite high. It is illegal to bypass the "firewall" through connection services such as virtual private network (VPN). It is illegal to not have a license in China, and only a few VPN providers are allowed to operate. Alibaba Cloud provides VPN options for colleges and universities through its cloud enterprise network, and Fortinet Inc. is its software supplier. The service allows students to access content from foreign universities stored in the cloud without delay, or watch related learning content online. It also provides a VPN-like experience when students browse the web looking for content that is only related to learning.

Alibaba Cloud also stated: “During the epidemic, cloud computing technology plays an important role in helping everyone adapt to the new life state. Our technology provides a solution that meets the important needs of students to continue learning. It should not be confused with any political affairs.” In addition, compared with Alibaba’s main e-commerce business, the revenue of the cloud computing department is insignificant. It has been actively promoting its services and plans to invest $28 billion in three years to build next-generation data centers.  source
