E-commerce is outdated? The future may just be a change in form.
"I recently communicated with others and heard a voice saying that e-commerce is out of date, really?" Kerin, deputy director of the High-tech Industry Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, analyzed this with a set of data: in 2009, China’s e-commerce transaction volume was only 3.8 trillion yuan. In just seven years, in 2017, China’s e-commerce transaction volume climbed to 29.16 trillion yuan, and online retail sales surpassed the EU and North America, becoming the largest online retail market. At present, this amount is still accelerating.
