CartNG.com is in China for the Alibaba 11.11 Shopping Festival, and we are delighted to bring you live feed and behind the scenes reports and pictures from the ground and Alibaba Media Centre.

November 11 is customarily celebrated in China as Singles Day symbolized by the characters 11.11. Alibaba popularized this holiday by positioning it as the number 1 global online shopping festival. The sales from 11.11 last year on Alibaba platforms alone surpassed all the combined online sales on 4th of July, Black Friday and Cyber Monday on all ecommerce platforms in the US combined (including Amazon and Ebay)! This is indeed mindboggling.

The 11.11 Festival kicked of last night (November 10) at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai and featured electrifying performances from globally renowned artists such as Pharell Williams, Jessis J, Nicole Kidman etc.
