Export slump sees China vendors rushing online

Chinese clothing sellers, burned by declining export orders, are turning to online retailing to try to tap domestic buyers as the mainland's e-commerce industry expands.

Wang Liang, 30, started selling his firm's dye-free organic baby clothes online this year, after orders from Europe and North America came to a standstill. He has a store on Alibaba Group's online retail site Taobao Mall and also sells through distributors on Taobao Marketplace, Alibaba's eBay-like consumer-to-consumer website.
