If you cannot beat them, join them. That's what US e-commerce company Amazon.com Inc must have thought when it decided to set up a virtual storefront in competitor Alibaba Group Holding's Tmall website.

It is no secret that Amazon has struggled to expand its business in the world's second-biggest economy, as Chinese consumers continue to make most of the online purchases through local e-marketplace channels like Tmall and Taobao.

"At this point in time, Amazon is not able to compete with Tmall and JD.com. Part of this is related to the fact that the United States headquarters is in charge of all decisions. But even if Amazon China had more autonomy, it will still find it difficult to compete with local players," said Will Tao, technology analyst at iResearch.

The opening of a storefront in Tmall clearly reflects Amazon's intention to extend its market share in the lucrative Chinese market, no matter what it takes.

"Opening an Amazon International Brand Flagship Store on Tmall is one of the efforts to provide additional channels and access to the highquality international products Amazon can bring to Chinese customers," said Brandy Niu, director of international brands at Amazon China.

The storefront, due to be officially launched in April, will offer a wide range of imported products, including footwear, food, drinks and toys, the company announced in a news release.

Amazon's Tmall store will offer more than 1,000 imported products, including some brands sold exclusively in China by Amazon such as Panama Jack and Logan.

One of the main differences between Amazon's business and those of its competitors is that Amazon buys and sells merchandise and operates its own delivery network.

Amazon notes that the company has invested in its own warehouses and logistics in the country to carry out the expansion in China.

"Unlike Amazon, Alibaba does not hold inventory and does not have to invest substantially on property, plants and equipment, which contributes to higher margins" said Ivan Feinseth, an analyst at research firm Tigress Financial.
