Background of the Notice's Issuance

In recent years, China's e-commerce market has maintained the largest scale in the world, playing a positive role in boosting consumption, serving the real economy, driving innovation, and expanding openness, and has already laid the foundation in terms of scale and space for promoting quality upgrading in e-commerce. The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council issued the Special Action Plan for Boosting Consumption, which calls for vigorously developing quality e-commerce. Launching the "Five Excellence" initiative for quality e-commerce and coordinating efforts from all parties to drive the e-commerce industry's transformation from scale expansion to quality improvement is both an intrinsic requirement for promoting consumption upgrading and volume growth and meeting the people's demand for quality and personalized consumption, and a concrete measure for strengthening positive guidance, reshaping a healthy competitive landscape, and promoting win-win development among e-commerce platforms, their operators, and workers.

The Notice clarifies the principles of combining livelihood improvement with consumption promotion, placing equal emphasis on regulated development and quality improvement, and integrating digital technology with the real economy. It deploys 15 specific tasks as key priorities, building a full-chain cultivation system around five major dimensions.

Second, supporting various merchants for "Quality Creation" — enhancing merchants' quality operation capabilities, innovatively developing e-commerce consumer brands, and empowering quality merchants in market expansion. Third, facilitating consumers in "Quality Selection" — building a matrix of quality consumption activities, creating integrated online and offline quality consumption scenarios, and strengthening consumer guidance and financial services. Fourth, guiding Silk Road e-commerce for "Quality Excellence" — building a sound ecosystem for e-commerce going global, cultivating and promoting "Silk Road Cloud Products" brands, and advancing high-level openness in the e-commerce sector.

Next, the Ministry of Commerce will work with relevant departments to ensure the implementation of the "Five Excellence" initiative measures take effect, using quality e-commerce development to help upgrade consumption quality and achieve high-quality development of e-commerce.
