Alibaba remains the king of promotions.  The company maintained its top-selling platform position.  Alibaba is particularly strong in personal and beauty care and snack foods.

<p>China online physical goods retail sales growth for April and May is tracking well below the 1Q21 level.  While this is largely an optics phenomenon due to unfavorable comparisons with the COVID fueled 2Q20, the upcoming 2Q21 earnings are unlikely to provide a catalyst for ecommerce platforms, in my view. However, with a sharp share price fall in the last 3 months, Vipshop shares now stand out as a value play. </p><h3>Key takeaways from the China retail sales data for May: </h3><ul>
