JD.com Donate to Chile during COVID-19
Chile ambassador Luis Schmidt Montes said, “Now we are facing the most serious public health crisis in recent years. We are grateful for Mr. Richard Liu and JD.com’s kind donation. Help from Chinese enterprises and people will speed up Chile’s epidemic control efforts.”
In the wake of COVID-19 outbreak in Chile, the Chilean embassy in Beijing has launched a campaign named “China aids Chile”.

Baozheng Long, JD.com vice president said, “Richard and JD.com are consistently focused on the COVID-19 development overseas. As a country that is home to many products popular among JD’s customers, we hope to bring faith and hope to Chile. We will continue our efforts in providing anti-virus support worldwide.”
Cherries, prune, blueberries and wine from Chile are all popular on JD’s platform. In the first three quarters of 2019, transaction volume for imported products from Chile increased over 80% y-o-y.
As the coronavirus has been spreading around the world, JD has continued to donate supplies to help overseas partners in their anti-epidemic fights, including most recently supporting the UK and Uzbekistan.
To date, JD has allocated over RMB 1.5 billion yuan in the donation and transportation of medical and protective supplies.
