Event description:
In China, livestreaming and mobile video apps grew in popularity earlier, and far more quickly. This was significant, because it gave a strong cultural foundation, onto which social commerce could build. Social commerce made up 13% of retail e-commerce sales in China in 2021, and the industry is expected to grow by 38.5% on annual basis to reach $363,547.3 million in 2022.

The way people communicate and live their lives has altered considerably and therefore influenced how companies operate and communicate with their clients. The rise of a new consumer class — the affluent, sophisticated, and highly connected millennial — has helped to grow the e-commerce revolution and make China a powerhouse of social commerce.

The employee experience can be understood in a simple way: it answers a question that is often asked, "What is this company like?" In today's society, job seekers don't just consider salary when comparing offers. What they look for more than that is what the old employees say about the company, the atmosphere of the company and the team. And these are the result of the employee experience.

关于员工体验可以用一个简单的方式来理解：它回答了一个常常被问到的问题：“这家公司是什么样的？”当今社会，求职者对比offer时，并不只考虑薪资待遇。他们更加看重的，是公司老员工对公司的评价，公司与团队的氛围。而这些都是员工体验的结果。
