'618' is significant as is the date JD.com was founded by Liu Qiangdong on 18th June, 1998.[2] It was first started in 2010, as a competitor to the shopping festival launched by rival Taobao, Singles' Day (or Double 11 in Chinese).
In 2022, JD.com saw slower growth in the 618 shopping day event, due to slowing economic conditions and COVID-19 outbreaks in china.[3][4][5]
