(Source: https://pltfrm.com.cn)

Introduction
China’s e-commerce landscape rewards brands that combine entertainment, instant purchasing, and algorithm-driven visibility. Livestream commerce is not only a sales channel but also a branding accelerator. Overseas brands that fail to localize livestream operations risk losing competitiveness to domestic players with stronger content agility and traffic control. With over 10 years of experience guiding overseas brands in China localization, we outline how livestream strategy can enhance competitiveness and long-term growth.
