Selling on cross-border e-commerce platforms is a good entryway for foreign companies into China: it seems to be a gradual and low-risk path, and the global pandemic has further accelerated the digital transformation of businesses. However, the Chinese market is complex, and you will need to be well-prepared with an ad hoc internationalization strategy.
