E-commerce fuels Chengdu's trade growth

Cross-border platforms expand into multiple industries

With transactions thriving - particularly online - between international markets and China's western region, Chengdu is boosting its logistics services to meet the demand of a red-hot e-commerce boom in the city.

As the capital of southwestern Sichuan province, the city has long been an important commercial center for the domestic market, but such trade is no longer as central to Chengdu as it used to be. The e-commerce companies here are increasingly deploying money and resources into cross-border e-commerce platforms to fuel their growth.
