Amazon started with a plan to disrupt bookselling. It sold cheap books online, delivering them straight to customers’ homes. Three decades later it employs a million people in America and owns one hundred warehouses, each stocked with millions of products. More than a third of the US e-commerce market flows through it. Now, another company has spied an opportunity to disrupt Amazon: Temu. The Chinese e-commerce giant wants to undercut its US rival, delivering impossibly cheap stuff to Americans straight from factories in China. How worried should Amazon be?

I think Amazon still maintains a certain level of “quality” to their products, which combined to the public’s perception of Chinese products being low quality, means that Amazon is still going to be the market leader for the next few years, at least outside of the Asian markets.
