Description
In episode 75 of Tech Buzz China, co-hosts Rui Ma and Ying Lu talk about China ecommerce SaaS, which currently primarily refers to WeChat ecommerce as it takes place through mini programs. Listen to learn about major players Youzan and Weimob, the difference between public and private traffic, and what Alibaba and Tencent’s future strategies might be given their actions up to this point. How accurate are the various players’ much sought comparisons to Shopify, and how closely do the companies truly compare to Shopify in their journeys to becoming China’s dominant ecommerce solution provider?  Yes, Rui is still writing her e-book on ByteDance!
