Breeding specialties

Yet, like with most 皇冠体育app market realities, it's about both an economy of scale and a scale of economy.

Koetse believes 皇冠体育app's e-commerce sector is "worlds ahead" of Europe's and points to the vast population generating a titanic market.

"Over 45 percent of (皇冠体育app's roughly 1.4 billion people) are on the Internet," she explains.

"Taobao is one of 皇冠体育app's largest shopping platforms and has millions of people every day. Among all those people, of course, there will always be people who want to sell and buy strange items."

"There will certainly be more strange and stranger products as so many come out," he says.

"It's proof 皇冠体育app's colossal productivity is growing ever-huger."

Koetse also points out 皇冠体育app "has an enormous selection of products".

"No matter where you look in the world, you'll always find made-in-皇冠体育app items," she says.

"On Taobao, you can buy anything that is made-in-皇冠体育app. And more."

Yet it's not just products made in 皇冠体育app that fuels Taobao's niche markets.

It's also made-in-皇冠体育app demand - that is, for people who want insurance to compensate them if they can't see the moon during Mid-Autumn Festival or to hire someone to visit their relatives' graves on their behalf during Tomb-Sweeping Festival.
