China buys from the world, while remaining at home

Some pilot cities have also simplified their Customs regulations. In Guangzhou, e-retailers can immediately register overseas goods with Customs when a Chinese buyer makes a deal, so tariff collection and other procedures are faster. On Nov 11, the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting in Beijing supported the trade with the APEC Cross Border E-Commerce Innovation and Development Initiative.

For e-commerce giant Amazon and its competitors, including Alibaba, new opportunities have opened since last year.

On Aug 20 last year, Amazon China announced it would begin cross-border online shopping in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Chinese buyers could go to Amazon websites in the US and other countries to buy online and receive shipments in a week to 10 days with lower delivery costs.

Amazon has tactically changed the "proxy" mode of overseas online shopping, whereby a Chinese buyer pays a proxy to buy goods abroad, and the proxy dispatches the goods as personal items.

The proxy mode has several risks, such as fake goods provided by the proxy, delivery delays, and documentation and tax issues during Customs clearance.

Amazon's bonded warehouses mode is easier and cheaper. With the help of data collected over the years, Amazon can forecast orders and send goods in advance by sea to Shanghai Free Trade Zone bonded warehouses. Amazon sends the items from Shanghai after a Chinese buyer makes a purchase.

Big players in China's e-commerce sector, such as Alibaba and 360buy, have followed Amazon to open overseas channels. They cooperate with foreign retailers to sell seafood from Alaska, avocados from Mexico, or even million-yuan jetpacks designed in New Zealand. Many e-commerce companies also use bonded warehouses to import mass consumption goods, such as infant formula powders, diapers, vitamin pills and cosmetics.

Improved logistics and supply systems will further unlock overseas market potential. According to the 2015 China Cross-border Online Buyer Report issued by Internet industry consultancy iResearch, only 15.3 percent of online shoppers have bought from overseas. They chose foreign-made commodities because of better quality (67.8 percent) and price (65.5 percent), and because goods are unavailable in China (52 percent).

Chen Fengying, head of the World Economy Research Center at the China Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, says overseas shopping will boost the world economy and create jobs abroad.

"We are now not only makers, but also buyers. A growing part of China's 1.3 billion population is entering the middle class with surging demand. It is the whole world's opportunity."
