Alibaba’s (9988) cross-border wholesale platform, Alibaba.com, has surged to the second spot on the US App Store’s shopping chart, following a brief stint at the top, according to reports from mainland media.

This rise comes amid US President Donald Trump’s push for reciprocal tariffs and the growing popularity of viral TikTok videos that spotlight Chinese factory operations, driving international curiosity about China’s manufacturing capabilities.

The platform also ranks among the top 10 most downloaded shopping apps in over 120 countries, reports said.

In response to the shifting trade environment, Alibaba.com is reportedly intensifying its investments in expanding its global buyer base, enhancing order fulfillment processes, and building localized warehouse networks to better support Chinese exporters.
