The  "Double 11" online shopping spree in China has been the most “globalized” ever this year with the UK’s Sainsbury’s, Germany’s METRO, and Macy’s from the U.S. all opening their stores on Chinese e-commerce platforms. South Korea made the slogan “never miss a 23 trillion won [12.6 billion yuan] Chinese overseas shopping market”; it’s expected Russian online buying volumes will be twenty times the usual level. 

Turkish biscuit maker Karsa took part in the Singles' Day shopping event for the second time this year. It sold 200,000 cakes in the 2014 “Double 11”. Karsa’s head responsible for sales in China said that the company is aiming for 50 percent more sales this year than last.

Nov. 11, konwn as "Singles Day" or the Anti-Valentine’s Day in China, has became a online shopping holiday.
