In China, this shopapalooza is called Singles Day. It’s on November 11. Alibaba’s marketplaces have discounts and pretty much every rival site has sales too. It’s the craziest day in China’s huge ecommerce market, which is tipped to hit about US$670 billion in spending during the course of this year.
