This November, China’s online shoppers came up with the term “尾款人,” a self-deprecating name referring to those who still have to pay the balances on purchased items come November. The slang is related to recent memes celebrating “打工人” (laborers) whose sole focus in life is making money. Before Halloween this year, some consumers joked that they were “the ghost of poverty” due to the debt they still owed Alibaba and its third-party vendors.
It is no secret that Chinese consumers love online shopping. The pandemic has only accelerated this trend, exemplified by the US$74 million in sales achieved by Alibaba over the 2020 Singles’ Day shopping festival. But the pandemic continues to rage on. And as shoppers become increasingly comfortable with online shopping, they are also growing more concerned about their financial situations.
