Humen E-Commerce Industrial Park (hereinafter referred to as "Park"), a 
flagship site of Dongguan, saw the opening of the Eighth Humen International 
E-Commerce Festival and the release of two official documents on December 3, 
2021. The then-published Standards for the Supply Chain Administration in the 
Livestreaming Base and the Standards for Services in the E-Commerce Service 
Center are designed to spur the high-quality development of China's e-commerce 
sector by coordinating with the Park's equals across the country.

By leveraging the manufacturing strength of Dongguan and the fashion resources 
of Humen, the e-commerce feast has grown into an influential force behind the 
development of e-commerce in China.

"At this festival, the e-commerce giant Alibaba has worked with Humen to 
initiate an innovative model that integrates platforms for B2B, B2C, and 
domestic and overseas markets with a single region," said Li Dingru, president 
of Humen E-Commerce Association, adding that the event would see a display of 
over 1,000 outstanding businesses in an exclusive e-commerce exhibition 
section. 

"The Technical Committee on E-Commerce Industrial Park Standardization of 
Guangdong Province established its secretariat in the Park. And since then, the 
town has supported the Committee in formulating and revising four national 
standards, two local industry standards, and ten alliance (group) standards," 
noted Wu Qingqiu, town mayor of Humen.

"Recent years have seen local governments going in for the building of 
e-commerce industrial parks that delivered benefits early on," said Wang Wei, 
president of Humen E-Commerce Industrial Park. He believed that, however, given 
intensifying competition and increasing viewership costs, these e-commerce 
centers cannot stand out from the crowd just because of eye-catching products 
and the most notable online influencers and should shift their focus towards 
public services.

At this point, the Park is known to have created an industrial chain that 
describes the full array of activities needed to create a product or service, 
ranging from R&D and design and product testing to storage and platform 
operation to photography, art design, livestreaming marketing, and financing.

Humen has, in fact, inaugurated a host of public service platforms, such as 
CNTAC Testing Center (Humen), Humen Fashion Design & Research and Development 
Center, China Fabric Sample Warehouse Humen Brach, Humen E-Commerce Service 
Center, and 1840 Livestreaming Base. That means an emerging industrial 
landscape, where service providers cluster and e-commerce platforms join hands 
for common growth, has taken hold.

As to the future of the thriving sector in Humen, Wu believed that the fashion 
internet commerce frontrunner promises to go versatile by further embracing 
e-commerce applications in such areas as apparel, electronics, cables, tourism, 
and commerce. And this is how the town moves towards a critical hub for 
e-commerce platforms in southern China.
