In October 13th, according to the US technology blog Venturebeat, Jingdong announced the opening of its first US office on Monday.

As the growth rate slows down and the core city market is saturated, Chinese e-commerce companies have to speed up the pace of international expansion.

Liu Qiangdong, founder and CEO of Jingdong, said in a statement: "in view of the wide coverage and strong performance of the US brand, the United States is the only option for us to consider setting up the first office outside Asia.

We hope to increase our presence in the United States by establishing operational agencies in the center of Silicon Valley.
