Liu Qiangdong, CEO of JD.com Inc, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, the nation's top political advisory body, pointed out that e-commerce has an indispensable role in powering the development of the domestic retail industry, while existing problems such as fake and smuggled goods remain and restrict the development of the sector.
