Mr. Liu commented, "JD.com had an outstanding 2013, with strong growth driving our annual sales over RMB 100 billion -- a remarkable 10,000-fold increase from our first year of operations and a two thirds increase from last year. We started JD.com in 2004 with the goal of providing users a better e-commerce experience, and 10 years later Chinese consumers are saying clearly that they appreciate our promise of authentic goods and unparalleled delivery through our self-operated national network."

We now have nearly half of China's direct B2C e-commerce business and almost 20 percent of the country's overall e-commerce market, and we expect this to continue to grow for JD.com. During 2013 we further strengthened our position as the e-commerce leader in reliable, fast delivery with JD.com's self-operated infrastructure, which provides same day delivery to many of our 140 million registered users and three-hour delivery in 6 cities in China."
