Excerpt 1
Cross-border Online Shopping Market Remains Large in China
Despite a slowing economy, Chinese consumers’ online spending on foreign goods is expected to remain strong in the next five years. Market research firm Mintel on Monday forecasts that China’s cross-border online shopping market will grow 18 percent each year.
In 2018, the market ballooned by more than 60 percent, according to Haitao Retailing, Mintel’s first report on the topic.
Nearly 60 percent of the 3,000 consumers surveyed by the firm said they had bought foreign products online from domestic shopping websites between June and November last year. They liked to shop for beauty and personal care products from South Korea, Japan and France. Japan and the US were preferred for personal electronic appliances.
Mo Daiqing, senior analyst at China E-Commerce Research Centre in Hangzhou, said though China’s economy was likely to slow, online shopping for foreign goods would rise for certain.
"Because the demand for prime products remains high in China, it takes time for domestic manufacturers to catch up with their foreign peers. The prospect is good especially for things like baby formula, baby care products and luxury items," she said.
More than half of the consumers agreed reviews and recommendations were important when deciding what to buy online, while 40 percent said sharing experiences of overseas purchases brought them a sense of achievement, the Mintel report said.
Gao Hucheng, the Minister of Commerce, said that supporting cross-border e-commerce would be a major task of his ministry this year. The ministry has previously estimated total cross-border online transactions would reach 6. 5 trillion yuan this year.
Excerpt 2
Complaints over Online Shopping for Overseas Products Soar Significantly
Complaints over "haitao", or direct online purchase of overseas products, soared significantly last year with cosmetics, infant products and bags topping the list, Shanghai Consumer Rights Protection Commission said.
The Commission received 1 ,059 complaints in the field last year, a surge of 369 percent from a year earlier.
Among those who filed complaints, 65.3 percent were women. Cosmetics and skin care products bought through "haitao" drew 38 percent of complaints, while infant products and bags and luggage drew 22 percent and 21 percent respectively, according to the Commission.
"An increasing number of Chinese consumers now purchase overseas products via cross-border online shopping sites, while problems such as businesses failing to deliver goods on time and the loss of goods during delivery process are drawing the ire of Chinese ’haitao’ buyers," said Tang Jiansheng, the Commissions deputy secretary-general.
Consumers in China prefer some emerging new cross-border online shopping sites such as ymatou.com, fengqu. com and xiaohongshu. com to traditional major shopping sites that have overseas product businesses, while these emerging sites had more complaints, said the Commission.
Consumers also complained about long delivery period, unsafe account of cross-border online shopping sites, random change or cancellation of orders, and fake promotion, the Commission said.

Is Cross-border Online Shopping Good or Not? Though everything you need can be found on the domestic online market, "haitao" or cross-border online shopping appears to be gaining more and more popularity in China. On this point, many people believe that the future of cross-border online shopping is promising, because there is a demand for prime products in China. However, still others argue against it with the fact that the number of complaints over "haitao" has an upward trend. Consumer rights protection, after-sale service, shipping and delivery time are all shortcomings of it. Personally, I think cross-border online shopping is a beneficial shopping mode since it caters to the demand of a group of consumers. It is admitted that there are indeed a lot to worry about in the process of cross-border online shopping. However, I still think cross-border online shopping does more good than harm and its increasing popularity provides the best proof. As far as I can see, there are a number of factors fueling the cross-border trend. To begin with, more and more consumers prefer to buy high-quality products from overseas vendors. Young, highly educated consumers with high incomes are the major group of China’s cross-border online consumers who are not satisfied with cheap and low-grade goods but care more about quality and fashion. Secondly, despite the relevant taxes and shipping charges, cross-border online shopping can save shoppers a lot of money and meanwhile provide guarantees of authenticity. Furthermore, because of the proliferation of counterfeit goods, they have no alternative but to resort to foreign brands. In brief, purchasing goods online from foreign countries meets the needs of some customers who want foreign products. Just as the saying goes: "No garden without weeds. " Cross-border online shopping is no exception. Therefore, it is critical for shoppers to make the best use of the advantages and bypass the disadvantages. Finally, I want to add that an authoritative body relating to consumer rights protection is urgently needed to govern and supervise cross-border online transactions.
