The Chinese government has demonstrated strong commitment by establishing 16 new comprehensive pilot zones in April 2025, increasing the total number to 165. These zones provide critical infrastructure and legislative support with preferential policies, including duty and VAT incentives and simplified customs procedures. Integrated mechanisms enable efficient information sharing among customs, taxation, and foreign exchange agencies, significantly reducing export declaration times. Local investment is substantial, with Chongqing dedicating RMB 40 billion to logistics infrastructure. As of June 2025, over 120,000 companies engaged in international e-commerce, supported by 1,000+ industrial parks and 2,500 foreign warehouses, which collectively drive market expansion by removing operational barriers.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the China cross-border e-commerce operations by enabling automated product listing generation, precision demand forecasting, optimized logistics routing, multilingual customer service chatbots, and personalized product recommendations based on consumer data analytics. Alibaba’s AI assistant, unveiled in September 2024, can generate complete product information in two minutes, boosting overseas product exposure by 37% among 30,000 SMEs by year-end 2024. AI-driven sorting systems and generative AI for rapid product design are deployed in fulfillment centers, including Xi’an’s Chanba Industrial Park, enhancing real-time order processing and transaction speed. Hangzhou aims to create 100+ "AI + cross-border e-commerce" demonstration cases by 2026, highlighting technology’s strategic role.
Chinese consumers demonstrate increased confidence and preference for high-end foreign brands, driving growth in cross-border imports from 444.1 billion yuan in 2018 to 548.3 billion yuan in 2023. The number of cross-border platform users surged to 188 million in 2023, nearly tripling over seven years. A 2024 survey by JD.com and Nielsen found 56% prioritize product quality and origin, with beauty and personal care representing 28% of imports, followed by food (15%), pharmaceuticals (14%), and infant products (13%). Platform models are evolving to include social commerce, livestreaming, and group-buying, with Douyin and Little Red Book expanding imported goods offering, leveraging influencer ecosystems for discovery which cumulatively sustain demand momentum.
