Companies said they would establish a joint venture of logistics support delivery operations of Alibaba. Alibaba has also reached an agreement last year with Sina Weibo, the operator of the first platform of microblogging in China, which aims to counter the popularity of WeChat and drive more users to the sites of e-commerce Alibaba.

Tencent responded with investments of its own, including the purchase of a stake in a search engine called Sogou. And the company has moved to develop its own e-commerce capabilities, which include sites like QQ and 51Buy Wanggou, adding a pay function WeChat.
Tencent said the agreement with China South City strengthen its e-commerce reach. The two companies will work together to help small and medium enterprises to develop their business retail online, they said.

However, this population, which is also very connected (there are 500 million Chinese Internet) does not have an equivalent in the United States and Europe commercial offer.
