Also by 2020, 50 percent of enterprises will have presence on the Internet so as to regularly update their business information and popularize their products. Meanwhile, 80 percent of enterprises will take and make orders online via e-commerce apps on the Internet or on mobile platforms.
In order to attain these targets, a complete legal foundation will be built to cover all e-commerce activities in the society.

Transportation and delivery service networks and order-processing systems will be developed in all cities and provinces nationwide to serve e-commerce transactions. E-commerce website credit rating and e-document certification services will be provided. Meanwhile, mechanisms for settlement of disputes and handling of violations in e-commerce will be formulated.
