Editor's Note: To mark the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China Daily is producing a series of data graphics pages that highlight the nation's major achievements during the past decade. This, the 18th in the series, encapsulates the wondrous world of China's e-commerce that has pioneered global trends and given it a global dimension as well through cross-border platforms, besides spawning growth-boosting innovations like livestreaming, fresh food delivery, social e-commerce and online shopping festivals.
