We are confident to further solidify our leading market position in electronics and home appliances despite the high trade-in base, and unlock vast growth potential in the general merchandise category and advertising services. In addition, as JD Food Delivery continued to scale up and generate deeper synergies with JD Retail, it also achieved sequential investment reduction in Q3, thanks to its improved unit economics performance.
