JD.com’s Vision for a Super Supply Chain and the Asia-Pacific Import Doubling Plan: Highlights from APEC 2025

November 4, 2025 -- At the APEC CEO Summit 2025 in Gyeongju, South Korea, on October 31, JD.com’s Founder and Chairman Richard Liu and CEO Sandy Xu reaffirmed our commitment to driving a thriving Asia-Pacific economy. They introduced JD.com’s “Super Supply Chain,” a resilient, efficient network rooted in China, with a global reach, including strategic hubs located across the Asia-Pacific region, designed to ensure stable connectivity and minimize disruption risks. Over the next three years, JD.com will launch its ambitious Asia-Pacific Import Doubling Plan, doubling product imports from APEC countries to foster regional trade.

Speaking at the summit’s session on “Business Strategies Through Enhanced Connectivity Within APEC,” CEO Sandy Xu highlighted how JD.com is tackling global uncertainties with stability as a cornerstone. She told the summit that for more than two decades, JD.com has built a stress-tested supply chain infrastructure, which is evolving into a Super Supply Chain, shifting from single-point security to system-wide resilience and from reactive fixes to proactive risk prevention, ensuring robust and reliable operations.

This stability stems from JD.com’s localized infrastructure, explained Sandy Xu, adding that through its Global Smart Supply Chain Network, JD.com has established over 130 different types of overseas warehouses spanning 1.3 million square meters and launched dozens of international air-cargo routes. By hiring locally and creating two-to-three-day delivery networks with regional warehouses, JD.com is building an efficient supply chain that uses the Asia-Pacific as its hub while extending globally, she added.

Leveraging this Super Supply Chain, JD.com is advancing our brands’ GigaGrowth Plan, which will bring 1,000 new overseas brands to China through cross-border e-commerce, driving more than 10 billion yuan in sales, while introducing 1,000 Chinese brands to global markets. Additionally, our Asia-Pacific Import Doubling Plan will double imports from APEC countries over the next three years, supporting regional economic growth.

As Sandy Xu emphasized, JD.com is committed to fostering more stable, smarter, greener, and warmer connectivity as a dedicated member of the APEC business community. “Journey Together, Dream as One,” she concluded, calling for collective action to build a brighter, more connected Asia-Pacific future.
