JD.com plans to expand in Europe and aims to have finalised its strategy for entering the market by the end of the year, its chief executive told a German newspaper. China’s second largest e-commerce business also wants to open an office in Germany by the end of 2018, the Handelsblatt daily cited Richard Liu as saying. “For me it’s no longer just about selling products from Germany in China. I would also like to sell products in Europe,” Liu told the paper. “We have just got to clarify the details.” [caption id=“attachment_4800001” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] An employee works at a JD.com logistic centre in Langfang, Hebei province.

Handelsblatt said Liu would also consider takeovers to help its foray into the European market. “If we see a good opportunity then we will seize it,” he said.
