In addition, Nanyang plans to further strengthen cooperation with e-commerce platforms such as Alibaba and Dunhuang.com and introduce a group of cross-border e-commerce comprehensive service enterprises. It will also focus on building a group of cross-border e-commerce industrial parks, guide the integrated development of cross-border e-commerce and local characteristic industries, and form a cross-border e-commerce industry cluster with Nanyang characteristics.
