10 main shopping websites are locked in an e-commerce price war, as they compete for singles-day customers. The Alibaba Group, operator of China's biggest e-commerce platforms, says over 10-million people were logging onto online retail websites just one minute after the sales started at midnight.
The on-line purchases on singles day in 2011 reached 5.2 billion yuan, almost four times that in 2010.
