Wildberries plans to expand warehouse capacity in Kazakhstan to 260,000 square meters, but completion is expected in 2027 and may not offset recent large-scale disruptions to its Russian logistics network. Kazakh officials are using the episode to promote domestic platforms like Kaspi, potentially reshaping regional seller strategies and cross-border e-commerce dependencies.
TechNode reports that SHEIN Global Holdings Limited received a July 10 filing notice from China’s securities regulator for a proposed Hong Kong Stock Exchange listing. The notice references a potential issuance of up to 341.613 million overseas-listed ordinary shares and outlines post-completion reporting and a 12-month update requirement if not completed.
Beijing’s market regulator summoned Taobao/Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu over concerns about the clarity of 618 promotional disclosures. The move signals sustained regulatory focus on consumer protection and on moderating aggressive competition in China’s e-commerce sector.
Doubao is expected to launch paid subscription tiers in late June, monetizing advanced productivity features while keeping basic chatbot services free. The document suggests a phased plan to expand into e-commerce and traffic-generation features for Douyin in Q3 before stabilizing operations in Q4.
Alibaba is preparing to integrate its Qwen AI platform with Taobao and Tmall to enable chat-based product discovery, comparison, and purchasing. The plan also includes commerce-focused AI skills such as logistics tracking and after-sales support, alongside an expected Taobao-native assistant with virtual try-ons and price tracking.
Coupang confirmed an additional 165,000 users were affected by a data leak, adding to a breach that previously impacted more than 33 million customers in South Korea. The incident is now influencing alliance management, with South Korean officials and US stakeholders linking the case to broader trade, tariff, and digital-platform regulatory tensions.
Social media footage showed shoppers scuffling over furniture during apparent clearance sales as Ikea prepares to close seven stores in China from Feb 2, according to the source.

Police in Suzhou dismantled a counterfeit Herbalife operation that allegedly earned over 20 million yuan, seizing nearly 2 tons of raw materials and detaining 12 suspects across Jiangsu and Guangdong.

SCMP reports that Anhui-based Three Sheep Network has returned to the spotlight by selling live-streaming courses following a 2024 suspension and fine linked to disputed product-origin claims. The shift signals revenue diversification but leaves the group exposed to ongoing regulatory, platform, and reputational risks.
According to the source, the European Commission imposed a €550 million fine on Alibaba-owned AliExpress, described as the largest enforcement action under the Digital Services Act. The reported findings highlight systemic weaknesses in takedown speed, seller verification, and recommendation systems that allegedly promoted non-compliant products prior to removal.
