Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is roundtable.
Hello everybody.
Welcome to roundtable.
Coming to you live from Beijing.
I'm he young.
Good to have you join us on today's show.
In China, instant delivery means just that instant.
With multiple e commerce giants now competing to deliver goods in record time, let's examine the innovations and strategies driving delivery at lightning speed and explore how this trend is reshaping the retail landscape and beat the heat right that wave.
We spotlight the latest indoor star sport, indoor surfing.
The sight of surfers catching waves next to shopping centers is becoming increasingly common in China.
As this trend grows, we cant help but wonder what other outdoor sports might we see moving indoors?
Next for today's program, I'm joined by Yu shun and Brandon Yates in the studio.
First on today's show in the world of e commerce, speed is king.
While Amazon Prime's one day shipping set the standard in the US, chinese platforms are pushing the boundaries even further.
Instant delivery services are becoming the new norm in China's fiercely competitive online marketplace, with companies promising deliveries within an hour or even, yes, in this race against time, every second counts.
Leading the charge is Meituan, a food delivery giant that has recently launched a pilot program for instant delivery within a limited range, aiming for a remarkable 15 minutes delivery time.
Perhaps more surprisingly, Douyin, the chinese version of TikTok, is also throwing its hat into the instant retail ring, inviting vendors to test instant delivery operations.
These bold moves raise increasingly intriguing questions.
What's driving this push for lightning fast deliveries?
