Which brings us back to our opening question: why? After years of effort and millions of dollars spent, armed with the most sophisticated technology and premium brand names, these Internet giants have all failed to claim a leadership role in China’s e-commerce. So what can e-commerce companies do to gain more traction in China?
Behavior adapted designs
Chinese customers want to have the most important information in the shortest time. For example, the product details, the price, the reviews of previous consumers. An easy paying process is also a must have.

Being visible on these platforms is vital for foreign companies. It can help the brands develop their image and popularity towards the Chinese public.
Online to offline

Chinese e-commerce platforms
