E-Commerce Only 10% of China’s 90 million web surfers buy things
on the Internet compared with 38% in the US The Payment network-Online consumers in China often
browse through a sales website only to find they must pay by mail or walk down the block to provide payment in person. This makes e-commerce more time-consuming, more costly, and less predictable than a traditional purchase. And it is a sure way to kill the prospects for internet business.
Telecom hurdles-Telecom costs remain an impediment to the development of e-commerce in China.
Outmoded shopping concepts and methods-Chinese customers shop by looking at, touching, listening to and tasting products.
