JD.com To Suspend Operations On Indonesia And Thailand Sites

(CTN NEWS) – BEIJING – On January 10, 2023, employees inspect shipments during a scheduled media tour at JD.com Logistics Asia No. 1 logistics facility in Beijing.

After suffering setbacks from local competition, JD.com is discontinuing its local platforms in Thailand and Indonesia to better concentrate on its supply chain and logistical expertise.

In a big blow to its aspirations to expand internationally, the Chinese e-commerce behemoth JD.com has decided to shut down its platforms in Thailand and Indonesia.

The decision comes as the nation’s Big Tech companies cut expenditures in response to the slowing development of the domestic internet industry.

The notifications were published on Monday to the websites of the joint ventures of the Beijing-based corporation in the respective nations, JD Central in Thailand and JD.ID in Indonesia.

JD.ID and JD. Central will stop working on March 31 and March 3, respectively. On February 15, both websites will stop taking orders.

After years of success in Southeast Asia, the statements support a South China Morning Post claim that JD was considering methods to leave the regions to emphasize domestic growth.
