What does red -colored part means?

BOTH China and the internet have a habit of going to the heads of investors. So perhaps it was inevitable that these two intoxicants would be combined in a single company. Alibaba is the world's most popular business-to-business (B2B) online marketplace.

"To go to one's head" means to cloud one's thinking, to cause one to think or behave irrationally or silly or boldly. In your example, it means that investors are eager to invest in anything related to China or the internet without necessarily having any other good reasons. This term is from alcohol "going to your head".
