have shown that developing cross-border e-commerce
had a noteworthy favorable effect on promoting
international trade in China (Wang, Y., Wang, Y., &
Lee, S. H., 2017). In this paper, the conjecture was
proposed:expanding cross-border e-commerce
business is conducive to the development of e-
commerce enterprises.To verify this conjecture, this
paper took PDD and JD as the research objects and
explored the effects of developing international e-
commerce on them through data analysis. By
studying the influence of JD and PDD on developing
international e-commerce, it is beneficial to have a
thorough awareness of the e-commerce industry's
current state of development and trends. This paper
collected and analyzed revenue and income data from
the official quarterly reports of PDD and JD as well
as stock price data from Yahoo Finance. In terms of
data analysis, the data were first modeled and then
subjected to regression analysis and difference in
difference analysis (DID analysis). For the analysis of
these three types of data, different results were
obtained. Regarding the analysis of revenue, results
indicated that developing international e-commerce
didn’t have a significant effect on the revenue of JD,
but it has significantly improved PDD's revenue. In
the analysis of net income, results indicated that there
is no discernible effects of developing international e-
commerce on PDD and JD's net income. The analysis
results in both sections are contrary to the initial
conjecture. However, in the analysis of net income,
results indicated that developing international e-
commerce boosted PDD and JD’s stock prices
significantly. It is the same as the original conjecture.
Through data analysis, this paper verified that the
growth of e-commerce businesses is positively
impacted by expanding cross-border e-commerce
business, which has contributed to the research on the
operation and development of international e-
commerce. This research revealed that developing
international e-commerce cannot significantly
improve the profitability of e-commerce enterprises
in the short term, but it can significantly boost the
market value of enterprises.
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Birth and Development of
Cross-Border e-Commerce Business
The term cross-border e-commerce began to appear in
2011, which refers to a novel pattern of international
trade, in which transaction subjects in different border
regions reach transactions in the way of e-commerce,
order online, pay and settle, deliver goods through
cross-border logistics, clear customs, and finally
deliver, and complete transactions(Xue, W., Li, D., &
Pei, Y., 2016).As an emerging trade pattern, cross-
border e-commerce is the technology foundation for
advancing trade globalization and economic
integration, which is quite significant from a strategic
perspective. International e-commerce has greatly
altered the global economy and trade by promoting
borderless trade and international trade.(Shuai, Q., Li,
Z., & Zhang, Y., 2023).In cross-border trade, long
supply chains with numerous middlemen allow
consumers to buy goods from overseas.(Qi, X., Chan,
J. H., Hu, J., & Li, Y., 2020).This emerging trade
pattern is smaller, more often, and faster than before,
which has been rapidly expanding, offering Cross-
border e-commerce enterprises a more extensive
market space and presenting both opportunities and
challenges along the way. Although many large e-
commerce enterprises throughout the globe have
developed international e-commerce businesses, most
studies do not provide the specific effects of
developing international e-commerce on the
development of enterprises, and merely a few
research analyze some successful cases of e-
commerce enterprises in developing international e-
commerce business. The purpose of this paper is to
obtain a thorough understanding of the ways in which
cross-border e-commerce impacts cross-border e-
commerce firms.

launched in the US on September 1, 2022, it has
achieved success with its main selling point of low
