Report Summary
JPMorgan argues that China ecommerce is shifting from share- and subsidy-led growth toward margin discipline. Traditional-platform share loss is expected to slow to about one percentage point in 2026, while new price-conduct rules restrict forced merchant markdowns; platform sales-and-marketing spending will be the clearest test of enforcement.
