“For me it’s no longer just about selling products from Germany in China. I would also like to sell products in Europe,” Liu told the paper. “We have just got to clarify the details.”

JD.com is investing heavily in logistics and offline retail to expand beyond its base in China and Southeast Asia and establish a meaningful presence in U.S. and European markets.

Handelsblatt said Liu would also consider takeovers to help its foray into the European market.

“If we see a good opportunity then we will seize it,” he said.
