Following an announcement on 18 January, JD.com has officially become Shopify‘s first Chinese strategic partner. In this collaboration, JD has offered a particular boarding channel, JD Marketplace, simplifying entry to the Chinese market for Shopify merchants. In return, Shopify will support Chinese JD sellers in expanding overseas and meeting international needs. By joining forces, these two companies have created a new ecommerce channel, opening up the world's biggest market for millions of merchants.

I'm Jolene Shi, a marketing and event professional with six years of experience in the Chinese market. I assisted international brands from the fashion to home-living industry, such as M.A.C, Asics, and Natuzzi, to carry out their marketing activities in the market. Acted as an intermediary between these brands and the Chinese population, helping western companies adapt to the Chinese market through social media marketing and events. Currently based in Spain, I'm on the journey of learning a new market while enjoying a different culture. It is why I want to create a possible channel for connecting western and Chinese entrepreneurs by sharing trends and insights about ecommerce in China.
