Description
China's e-commerce leaders, Alibaba and PDD, are battling for Southeast Asia's rapidly digitizing consumer market. With Alibaba's Lazada investing heavily in logistics and PDD's Temu expanding aggressively via social commerce, the region is becoming a strategic battleground as domestic growth slows. We examine recent data showing Chinese exports shifting toward ASEAN, the impact of a stable yuan around 6.77 per dollar, and why Southeast Asia's young population and rising smartphone penetration make it the next frontier. Plus, how local players like Shopee are fighting back. Episode 50 of China Economy with Fexingo.
