Where JD is headed
JD has spent the last 18 months doing something genuinely strange for a Chinese internet company: it picked a fight on purpose. The food delivery push launched in early 2025 was meant to bleed Meituan and force Alibaba to defend Ele.me, and it has worked on both fronts. By late 2027, JD's daily order volumes in instant retail should sit in a credible second or third position nationally, but the more interesting outcome is what it does to the core: Dada's hourly delivery network gets fed by a customer who now opens the JD app five times a week instead of once a month. Frequency is the metric that has haunted JD versus Pinduoduo and Meituan for years. They just bought it, expensively, but they bought it.
