China: Consumers can almost order anything online from their smartphone

Update of 4/17/2026: Today's South China Morning Post headline "China’s e-commerce platforms hit with 3.6 billion yuan fine for food safety violations". Seven platforms were fined including Taobao, TMall.

E.g. who needs a grocery store anymore? Have fresh vegetables or fruits delivered to your home or a pickup point.

It is quite amazing what you can order of Chinese competitors of Amazon. There are several online platforms available.

However, some online vendors do a very poor job advertising their products. Product description and presentations often are inadequate and not satisfactory.
