This report is part of a monthly series in which we discuss developments in China under the banner of “New Retail.” We offer insights into recent news, with a focus on digitalization and strategic collaborations.

This month, highlights include retail firsts on e-commerce platform Tmall—specifically, the use of livestreaming for Shanghai Fashion Week and the launch of Huda Beauty’s flagship store. In addition, with China heading into recovery from the coronavirus crisis, we discuss a move by food-delivery platform Meituan to boost sales by expanding its services.
