Podcast appearances and mentions of ed sander

TikTok Shop's business is doing really badly in the US and the UK – even if TikTok doesn't say it out loud! But what does this mean for the TikTok Shop launch in Europe and for brands that want to jump on the bandwagon? That's what Valerie and Ingrid discussed in this episode with Ed Sander from Chinatalk. Ed explains that TikTok has clearly failed to meet its own targets in the US and sees that success in the West is taking much longer than expected. He shares many exciting insights into TikTok and live commerce: specific figures on the volume in Asia, cultural differences in shopping behavior, the lack of an agency landscape around live commerce, and the possible market share of TikTok in a few years. And he also knows why TikTok has repeatedly postponed the launch of its shop in Europe and, in contrast to Temu, is proceeding very cautiously with its expansion.Note from the sponsor Kaufland Global Marketplace:Do you want to meet Ingrid and Valerie live again?

4 out of the top 8 Apps on the US Apple Store come from China. Many are shopping platforms such as SHEIN, Temu and TikTok Shop. These platforms have strong algorithms, massive supply chain networks, and seemingly bottomless investment pockets. Is the West slowly becoming addicted to Chinese-style online shopping? We talked to Ed Sander, who is the co-founder of ChinaTalk, a Dutch service provider specializing in knowledge transfer about China. Ed also writes for the TechBuzz China substack. 1. You arrange business tours in China. Tell us about the upcoming Spring Exclusive Investor Electric Vehicle Trip. Is it too late to sign up? 2. Why has TikTok Shop struggled to get traction in the U.S. while it's been so wildly successful in SE Asia? 3. How can brands make TikTok Shop work in the U.S.? What's the magic formula? Will it come from live commerce? 4. Are some markets more influenced by cultural differences that help drive livestream shopping success? Or are Chinese just more open to new experiences? Do you think brands should engage in livestream shopping? 5. Do you think TikTok Shop makes adjustments on their platform to make shopping more palatable? 6. Is there still a place for brands or livestream commerce for cheap, impulsive products? 7. Why are you so bullish on the growth of Temu? How will they adjust for impending Trump tariffs? 8. How will Temu and SHEIN impact global markets in Europe? 9. Who has the best chance of success, SHEIN, Temu or TikTok Shop? 10. What is happening with Meituan's Keeta? How will it dominate in food delivery?

Vandaag aan de microfoon: Ed Sander, China-expert en retail- & technologieanalist. Temu is in razendsnel tempo een e-commercegigant geworden, met een omzet van 50 miljard euro in minder dan drie jaar. Maar hoe werkt Temu écht? Waarom zijn de prijzen zo laag? En wat betekent dit voor lokale retailers, merken en consumenten?In deze aflevering van de #TeamRetail podcast duiken we in:

Spätestens seit dieser Woche ist klar: China ist in der Lage innerhalb kürzester Zeit Technologien massiv zu disruptieren: aktuellstes Beispiel ist der KI-Chatbot DeepSeek. Auch bei Online Plattformen gab es in den letzten Jahren extrem schnell wachsende Player. Und genau das analysiere ich heute mit meinem Gast Matthias "Mattes" Schrader, Gründer von SinnerSchrader, Ex-Deutschland CEO von Accenture Song und jetziger Gründer & CEO von OH-SO Digital. Mattes war übrigens vor kurzem zusammen mit Ed Sander (艾德) in China und hat echtes Insider Wissen dabei. Wir beleuchten

Europa heeft maar weinig serieuze cybersecuritybedrijven. Zeker als je bekijkt welke bedrijven ook zélf hun software maken. Het Nederlandse bedrijf Hadrian wil daar verandering in brengen. Joe van Burik en Ben van der Burg praten in deze aflevering met de CEO en oprichter. En dat moet met de combinatie van cybersecurity en... AI! Met kunstmatige intelligentie kan Hadrian op grote schaal kwetsbaarheden opsporen, zonder dat daar heel veel mankracht voor nodig is.  Hoe dat werkt hoor je in deze uitzending. Maar ook hoe groot de markt voor cybersecurity nu eigenlijk is. Want daar nemen De Verenigde Staten en Israël het grootste deel van de taart. Is er genoeg ruimte voor Hadrian om tussen deze techreuzen te opereren?  Dat en meer horen we van Rogier Fischer, oprichter en CEO van Hadrian. Ford zet in op full self driving Ondanks stevige beloftes van Elon Musk gaat ‘full self driving' met Tesla nog bepaald niet van een leien dakje. Maar het kan ook anders, minder sensationeel wellicht, maar wel realistisch. Want Ford biedt in de categorie autonoom rijden tegenwoordig ‘level 2 plus' aan: effectief een nog geavanceerdere adaptieve cruise control, waarbij je de handen van het stuur mag houden! Én, ook belangrijk: met goedkeuring van de Europese en Nederlandse autoriteiten.  Ben en Joe stapten daarom in een Ford Mustang Mach-E, met Sebastiaan van der Pol, Manager Public Relations bij Ford:  Krijgen toezichthouders grip op het Chinese Temu? De Chinese webshop Temu bestormt Europa met spotgoedkope deals en gratis verzendkosten. Het bedrijf maakt het daarbij zo bont dat de Europese commissie én meerdere toezichthouders nu aan de bel trekken; Temu moet zijn werkwijze ingrijpend veranderen, anders volgen er boetes. Maar gaat dit Temu ook onder de duim krijgen? En is het Chinese PDD Holdings überhaupt te veranderen?  Dat vragen we aan Ed Sander, tech Researcher voor Tech Buzz China en spreker voor ChinaTalk.

In dieser Spezialfolge unseres Cheftreff Podcasts nimmt Host Sven Rittau Dich mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die innovative E-Commerce-Landschaft Chinas. Gemeinsam mit dem China-Experten Ed Sander berichtet er von der K5 X-PEDITION nach Shanghai, Hangzhou und Peking und teilt wertvolle Einblicke in die dynamische Welt des chinesischen Online-Handels. Ed und Sven diskutieren die Dominanz von Plattformen wie WeChat, Alipay und Meituan und erklären, wie diese Apps das tägliche Leben der chinesischen Verbraucher prägen. Sie beleuchten außerdem die unterschiedlichen Strategien, mit denen chinesische Tech-Giganten ihre Ökosysteme aufbauen, analysieren die Entwicklung von Live-Commerce in China und sprechen über die rasante Expansion chinesischer Plattformen in neue Geschäftsbereiche. In der Folge mit Ed Sander und Sven Rittau lernst Du:

With almost 700 million visits per month, Temu is the second most frequently visited e-commerce site in the world. And because Temu is so successful, the Chinese platform is facing attacks from all sides: competitor Shein is suing Temu for product piracy, while the US and Europe are planning to protect their markets and local providers by imposing tariffs on packages from China.  And Temu? is targeting the US and Europe and opening up to sellers based in these countries. With so much movement in the market, it's worth taking another critical look at Temu and also at the behavior of competitors. Ingrid and Valerie do just that in the new episode 79 with Ed Sander, THE China expert from the Netherlands. The podcast, for example, is about why Shein, Temu and Amazon hypocritically accuse each other of their own actions (or rather their own offenses), how Temu puts pressure on Chinese manufacturers and why Shein benefits from it and why Amazon presents this manufacturer as a “friendly” alternative to Temu. Newsflash: -        Amazon eases the export to countries without a specific Amazon Store with the new Export Central, which is part of Amazon's EU Export program.  -        British fasion retailer and marketplace Asos.com will sell its daughter chain Topshop/Topman not to Shein - even though the chinese company made the best offer.  -        The financing of the internationalization of the Swiss marketplace Galaxus to Germany and other European countries is now secured until at least 2029.  -        Amazon has reduced the deadline for processing unsaleable stock from 30 to 23 days. If companies miss this deadline, Amazon can dispose of these products. -        The online gaming platform Roblox plans to sell physical products directly on the platform starting in 2025.

In this second installment of our engaging dialogue with Ed Sander on The Negotiation podcast, host Todd Embley continues to explore the dynamic and rapidly evolving landscape of China's digital technology scene. Ed, known for his deep insights into the intricacies of Chinese e-commerce, shares his expertise on the roles of major players like Alibaba and JD.com and dives into emerging platforms like Douyin and Little Red Book. The episode begins with a discussion on Alibaba and JD.com, traditional giants in the Chinese e-commerce space. Ed analyzes how these companies are adapting to changes in consumer behavior and technological advancements. He specifically touches on Alibaba's "user-first" strategy and its implications for Taobao and Tmall's performance this year. Shifting focus to Alibaba's grocery arm, Hema, Ed explains why this segment of Alibaba fascinates him due to its innovative integration of online and offline retail, which significantly enhances the consumer shopping experience. The conversation then pivots to Douyin, the Chinese counterpart of TikTok, which has successfully morphed into a robust e-commerce platform. Ed discusses the reasons behind Douyin's e-commerce success and offers strategic advice for brands considering launching a store on the platform. Additionally, Ed assesses the potential of Little Red Book (Xiaohongshu) as an e-commerce platform built on top of its social media roots, exploring its unique position in the market. The episode also delves into the intense competition in local services in China, identifying key players and analyzing who is leading and why. Finally, Ed highlights other exciting trends in China's digital space that are shaping the future of e-commerce and digital interaction in one of the world's most vibrant markets. Discussion Points:The adaptation of Alibaba and JD.com in the evolving e-commerce landscape.Analysis of Alibaba's "user-first" strategy and its impact.Insights into Hema's role within Alibaba's ecosystem.Douyin's rise as a formidable e-commerce platform.The potential of Little Red Book as an e-commerce site.Overview of the competitive local services market in China.Emerging trends in China's digital space that are reshaping the industry.

In this episode of The Negotiation podcast, host Todd Embley is joined by Ed Sander, a renowned analyst specializing in China's digital technology landscape. In the first part of this two-part conversation, Ed shares his expert insights into Pinduoduo and the meteoric rise of its international marketplace, Temu. The episode kicks off with Ed discussing the innovative business strategies, such as group buying and aggressive discounting, that have propelled Pinduoduo to immense success within China. He then shifts focus to Temu, PDD Holdings' ambitious cross-border platform, explaining its business model and why it has rapidly emerged as a formidable contender in the global e-commerce arena, potentially rivaling giants like Amazon. Ed addresses common misconceptions about Temu, providing clarity on its operational strategies and market positioning. He also explains the "semi-managed" model, highlighting its significance in Temu's operational framework and its impact on international e-commerce dynamics. Additionally, Ed discusses his upcoming study trip to China with Kaiser Kuo, inviting listeners to gain first-hand experience and deeper understanding of China's tech landscape. Discussion Points:The rise of Pinduoduo in China: strategies and business model.Introduction to Temu and its success factors.Misconceptions about Temu and its comparison with Amazon.Explanation of the "semi-managed" model and its importance.

Chinese techbedrijven die in Europa opereren en furore maken is inmiddels niet meer ongewoon. TikTok is inmiddels de belangrijkste concurrent van de westerse techbedrijven en een aantal jaar geleden leek heel Nederland plotseling op Alibaba hun spulletjes (die ze niet nodig hadden) te bestellen. Sinds twee jaar is daar nu ook Temu, een nog goedkopere E-commerce partij uit China. In eigen land groeide het moederbedrijf Pinduoduo (onder de vlag van PDD Holdings) uit tot een supermacht. In het Westen is gekozen voor het iets makkelijker uit te spreken Temu. Het concept is vrijwel hetzelfde. Temu en Pinduoduo onderhouden directe contacten met de fabrieken die in China sinds jaar en dag ook voor het westen allerlei spulletjes maken. Door direct te leveren vanuit de fabriek kunnen kosten verder gedrukt worden en is met wat marketingbudget van Temu zelfs mogelijk om een wenkbrauwknipper voor 89 cent (met het VLIEGTUIG!) naar jouw huis in Nederland te verschepen. Temu slaat hiermee dus een nieuwe weg in op het gebied van E-commerce en forceert concurrentie als Amazon om mee te gaan in hun race naar de bodem. Om ons alles over Temu uit te leggen is Ed Sander te gast. China-expert, onderzoeker voor Tech Buzz China en organisator van studiereizen via ChinaTechTrip. Met Ed praten we over het verdienmodel van Temu, hoelang het bedrijf dit kan volhouden, of ze een kans maken tegen Westerse partijen en de toekomst van E-commerce in China.  Gast Ed Sander Links ChinaTalk Tech Buzz China Mee op reis naar China?

Hardly any other platform has moved the market as much as Temu in the past 12 months: shoppers are delighted with cheap bargains, and around one in four online shoppers in Germany has already ordered there - across all age groups. The low-cost competition is not just a problem for retailers and brands, marketplaces also need to find answers to Temu's presence.  Reason enough to demystify Temu. And that's what Ed Sander, an expert in online retail in China, does in episode 69. Sander not only runs the Chinatalk learning platform, he also writes in-depth analyses of important Chinese players such as Alibaba, Shein, TMall and Temu and its parent company Pinduoduo for China TechBuzz.  In the podcast episode, he describes in detail why Temu is not actually a marketplace and how Temu's business model works, for example by strictly dictating prices to Chinese manufacturers or using sophisticated marketing tricks to constantly attract new customers. And Ed makes it clear that Temu is constantly adapting its business model very quickly to the changing market in order to secure the greatest possible growth. Ed's main message: the Temu phenomenon is here to stay and European companies need to find ways to differentiate themselves from the competition by offering added value. Ed also has some tangible tips on this. So, listen to the new episode! Newsflash: Otto increases marketplace fees: Trading on Otto's marketplace will become more expensive for all partners from August 1. The basic fee will rise from 39.90 euros per month to 99.90 euros and - even more seriously - sales fees are rising drastically for some categories such as technology and DIY.  KaDeWe Group discontinues e-commerce: The KaDeWe Group got off to a late start in e-commerce and is now pulling the emergency brake early. As part of the restructuring, Chief Restructuring Officer Josef Schultheiß is leaving the online business.

De Technoloog heeft het deze week over smartwatches. Het begon allemaal met het sympatieke Kickstarter-project Pebble. Inmiddels is er een flinke markt ontstaan, met producten van de bekende techreuzen, goedkopere Chinese merken en kleinere bedrijven die zich op een niche richten. Om al onze vragen te kunnen beantwoorden hebben we Eric van Ballegoie uitgenodigd. Eric is smartwatch-expert bij Tweakers en 24 uur per dag gebruiker van de slimme apparaten. Want hoe nauwkeurig zijn de metingen die een smartwatch doet? En is de markt geworden wat we er vooraf van hadden verwacht?  De Technoloog reist deze week naar het verre oosten. Met reisgids Ed Sander spreken we namelijk over China. Hoe zat het ook alweer met de Chinese techbedrijven? Hoe staat het met de privacy van de gemiddelde Chinees en opereren er in China ook flitsbezorgers?

In episode 32 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about Luckin Coffee, the hybrid online-offline coffee chain unicorn startup that’s turning heads in China with its rapid expansion and innovative business model. In fact, immediately after we completed recording this episode, news broke that the year-old company has raised another $200 million in fresh funding, upping its valuation to $2.2 billion. Throughout Luckin’s existence, Western media has had a habit of comparing Luckin to Starbucks, and describing Luckin as the “Starbucks challenger.” But just how accurate is this juxtaposition? Additionally, how has now-celebrity CEO Qian Zhiya, or Jenny, been able to attract tremendous amounts of venture capital and instill strong investor confidence as a first-time founder? Rui and Ying-Ying begin today’s story with Jenny’s background. Now 43 years old, she was previously best known as one of the hidden weapons of China’s leading transportation companies, the operations-heavy Ucar, where she rose from an administrative role to become COO and EVP of the rental division in 2014. At Ucar, Jenny oversaw the rapid growth in mobile-enabled on-demand services for the ride-sharing business — valuable expertise for envisioning and executing Luckin’s marriage of offline storefront expansion and on-demand experience on the smartphone. The companies’ ties do not end there: Jenny started Luckin with a loan from Ucar CEO Lu Zhengyao, and many of Luckin’s investors had also invested in Ucar. Rui and Ying-Ying continue by comparing Luckin with Starbucks, and then explaining why that comparison doesn’t make much sense. Complete with vivid stories and analysis, our co-hosts’ thesis is that Luckin’s rise is a prime example of how brands are increasingly using offline presence to acquire online customers, and that the company’s technology and digital-first F&B business model innovations can be exported and applied to other businesses and in other locales. Listen to find out: Which startups, both in China and here in the U.S., can we more accurately consider to be the chain’s “cousins”? What role does data play in optimizing aspects such as delivery, inventory management, personalized deals, and expansion? It’s too early to tell if Luckin will succeed, but what factors may tip the odds in one direction or another? How is this Chinese company using technology to successfully reimagine F&B — faster than Starbucks ever has — beginning with one of the oldest and seemingly simplest markets, grabbing a cup of coffee? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

In Ep. 26 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma discuss Koubei, rounding up the second installment of a two-part deep-dive into the local services space in China. An Alibaba subsidiary, Koubei recently merged with ele.me, another Alibaba-owned (via acquisition) entity which was covered in Ep. 25 last week. Listeners will also hear from Ed Sander of ChinaTalk, a China trip leader and prolific writer on the topic of e-commerce and China. Rui and Ying-Ying tell the story of Koubei. Though the brand was started in 2004 by an early Alibaba employee, it was left for dead in 2011 before being revived in 2015-- for the explicit purpose of going after the local services market. The O2O market had reached only 4.4% penetration at the time, but already presented massive opportunity. When reborn, Koubei began with the F&B (food and beverage) restaurant business, but it always had grander ambitions-- in fact, its very first press release said that it was eventually going to go into healthcare, supermarkets, and vending machines. Here, the story begins to overlap with Meituan's F&B ambitions: both aspire to digitize every aspect of the restaurant dine-in experience, including using AI to shake up the entire spectrum of operations and customer experience, and introducing “smart restaurants.” However, the crux of the battle between Alibaba and Meitun extends beyond F&B. For both internet giants, the emergence of Local Services and New Retail as a key business unit has been obvious. Listen to the newest episode of TechBuzz China and join our co-hosts and guest commentator in exploring: What can we predict following Meituan's assertions that it expects to be “the most aggressive investor in the offline retail space”? How do concepts such as robots, consumer privacy, and cashierless stores fit into the picture? In what ways is China arguably leading the world in innovations in this market? How are the divergent approaches of Alibaba and rival Tencent (part-owner of Meituan) to staking out ownership leading to different results in China's latest tech battlefront? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

When reborn, Koubei began with the F&B (food and beverage) restaurant business, but it always had grander ambitions — in fact, its very first press release said that it was eventually going to go into healthcare, supermarkets, and vending machines. Here, the story begins to overlap with Meituan’s F&B ambitions: both aspire to digitize every aspect of the restaurant dine-in experience, including using AI to shake up the entire spectrum of operations and customer experience, and introducing “smart restaurants.” However, the crux of the battle between Alibaba and Meituan extends beyond F&B. For both internet giants, the emergence of local services and new retail as a key business unit has been obvious. Listen to the newest episode of TechBuzz China and join our co-hosts and guest commentator in exploring: What can we predict following Meituan’s assertions that it expects to be “the most aggressive investor in the offline retail space”? How do concepts such as robots, consumer privacy, and cashierless stores fit into the picture? In what ways is China arguably leading the world in innovations in this market? How are Alibaba and rival Tencent’s divergent approaches to staking out ownership leading to different results in China’s latest tech battlefront?

Listeners will also hear from Ed Sander of ChinaTalk, a China trip leader and prolific writer on the topic of e-commerce and China. Rui and Ying-Ying tell the story of Koubei. Though the brand was started in 2004 by an early Alibaba employee, it was left for dead in 2011 before being revived in 2015-- for the explicit purpose of going after the local services market.
