cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.as a result, albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the us after attending church in canada, as usual. the us customs station in this area is closed on sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last may, following a tightening of border security. two days later. albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally.ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 americans in that area so they can enter the country when canadian customs(海关) stations are closed, but the us stopped a similar program last may. that forces the people to

lead in china, simply enough, by connecting big chinese, manufacturers(制造商)with big buyers across the world. its business-to-business site, a allowed business to buy almost everything. alibabas advantage wasnt hard to identify: size.alibaba is just big, even by chinese standards. its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a yearand alibaba is just the middleman. it encourages people to use its marketsnot charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.if you want a quick look into the influence of alibaba on daily chinese life, take my experience. i moved to beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings. “youre looking for what exactly? why not try it? ” my chinese teacher asked me one day. with that, my wonderful new relationship with alibaba began.alibabas original business-to-business model now is secondary to consumer buying. chinese retail（零售）buying makes up 80% of alibabas profit, and leading that group is taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things youll ever find. tm is alibabas other big site, where you can find brand name goods from nike and unilever near the lowest prices.what i have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the u. s. is how china has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers(零售商)especially-in favor of online purchases on taobao and a few other sites. in smaller towns than beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is taobao.i have a list of some of my recent purchases on taobao for a sense of how extensive(广泛的) the marketplace is. almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. im not even a big buyer, because i need friends to help me search the chinese-language site. when i was searching my purchase history on my chinese teachers ipad, which helps me buy goods, i looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.12. alibabas advantage mainly lies in
