Ushering in the summer shopping season in high gear, China's "618" shopping festival -- originally launched around June 18 but now spanning several weeks -- has highlighted a broader shift toward upgraded, quality-driven consumption.

随着夏季购物季的盛大开启，中国的“618”购物节凸显出一种更广泛的消费趋势，市场整体呈现品质化升级趋势。最初的“618”购物节于6月18日左右开始，如今一直持续数周。

As of Wednesday midnight, e-commerce giant JD.com reported over 2.2 billion orders across its online, delivery, and offline channels, with the number of customers who placed orders more than doubling year on year. Peer platform Tmall also saw record engagement, with 453 brands each generating over 100 million yuan (13.94 million U.S. dollars) in sales, marking a 24 percent increase from last year.

截至6月18日23:59，电商巨头京东618下单用户数同比增超100%，京东零售线上业务、京东外卖及线下业态整体订单量超22亿单。天猫电商平台453个品牌成交额突破亿元，同比增长24%。

Driving this year's robust consumer response was a nationwide trade-in program for consumer goods, supported by 300 billion yuan in ultra-long special treasury bonds along with matching or self-arranged contributions from local governments, incentivizing households to exchange old products for new ones.

‌618消费热潮得益于“国补以旧换新”政策‌，3000亿元超长期特别国债，再加上地方按比例配套和自行安排的资金，大力支持家装消费品换新。

JD.com and Tmall launched dedicated trade-in channels combining government subsidies with platform discounts, cutting thousands of yuan off the cost of big-ticket purchases.

京东和天猫推出了“国补专区”，国家补贴可叠加平台优惠使用，使大件商品的价格降低了数千元。

The impact was clear across major categories on JD.com, with mobile device sales rising 88 percent year on year, and home appliances surging 161 percent.

这个消费方式带动京东多个品类实现销售爆发，手机通信、家用电器销售分别同比增长88%、161%。
