The two groups said in a joint statement that they will continue to share resources on customers, stores and inventory－to expand the integration of their online platforms and offline stores. They said the push aims to combine the strengths of Walmart and JD to generate new e-commerce and retail initiatives. The statement said the cooperation is helping boost the popularity of US-made products in China and allowed shoppers to directly buy goods from Walmart stores on the JD.com platform. Walmart launched five stores on JD's platforms, including Walmart's flagship store, Walmart global shop on JD Worldwide, Sam's Club flagship store, Sam's Club flagship store on JD Worldwide, and ASDA flagship store on JD Worldwide. "JD will set up pickup points in Walmart stores to give consumers more delivery address options and pickup solutions," said Carol Fung, president of JD Fast Moving Consumer Goods.
