Taobao was founded in May 2003.

In October 2005, Taobao announced that it would create 1 million jobs for the society in the next five years and help more netizens find jobs and even start businesses on Taobao.

In 2006, Taobao became the largest shopping website in Asia. In that year, Taobao realized a possibility in China for the first time - the Internet is not only an application tool, but will eventually become a basic element of life. Survey data shows that nearly 9 million people go to Taobao to "go shopping" every day.

The addition of e-commerce has changed the circulation and even production process under the traditional economy. With the help of the "Internet +" model, it has not only attracted more talents to return to their hometowns to start businesses, but also accumulated energy and capital for the realization of a modern and intelligent "smart countryside". The Rural Taobao APP truly connects cities and rural areas through the Internet.

The original intention of Taobao was to allow all sellers to face consumers directly, reduce the middle links, and benefit consumers. E-commerce logistics is becoming more mobile, digital and platform-based. The application scenarios of e-commerce logistics are growing exponentially.
