Companies eye Black Friday sales bonanza

Major online retailers are looking to cash in on the Black Friday shopping spree, which falls on Nov 29 this year, and formed partnerships with each other as more Chinese consumers scout for high-quality products from abroad.

Amazon Global Store, the cross-border shopping platform of tech behemoth Amazon.com Inc, has launched a pop-up store on social commerce site Pinduoduo Inc, and plans to operate it through the end of December.

The pop-up store offers Chinese customers a selection of about 1,000 overseas products from Nintendo Switch consoles, Australian baby formula to personal care products.
