China's booming e-commerce market has revolutionized the way people shop, offering unparalleled convenience, variety, and affordability.
For expatriates such as CGTN digital editor Shanaaz Prince, online shopping has made it possible to maintain a comfortable lifestyle, even as someone newly arriving in a foreign country.
Thanks to platforms such as Taobao, PDD, JD, and Meituan, a wide range of products, including groceries and gadgets, can be easily purchased with just a few clicks.
"With a variety of shopping apps to choose from, it's as easy as, well, shopping from the comfort of your couch," Prince was amazed.
Other big draws are the abundance of discounts and fast delivery, she said. With China's 12 million delivery drivers, packages arrive quickly and efficiently.
China's e-commerce success is more than just a shopping revolution -- it's a reflection of the country's technological innovation and commitment to improving everyday life.
