"The overall value of e-commerce imports and exports in China is expected to reach 6.5 trillion yuan (US$1 trillion) this year, according to the commerce ministry," said Andy Xu, the company's vice president of sales in South China.

Xu said the trading value of cross-border e-commerce in Guangdong was 16.7 billion yuan last year, the highest nationwide, and at least 70 percent of turnover was generated in Shenzhen.
