Pingtan's JD collaborative warehouse comes together with the multinational retailer Walmart for cross-border e-commerce delivery in Pingtan, a rising international tourism island off southeast China's Fujian province. The move marks another milestone for the free trade zone. With the Walmart applet on WeChat, a popular instant messaging app in China,  consumers can place orders of imported commodities such as cosmetics, household supplies, and spirits that will be delivered nationwide from Pingtan.

As a service provider of JD.com’s international platform, Pingtan’s JD collaborative warehouse has achieved the highest growth rate nationwide since its opening in February this year.
