Malaysia Welcomes JD.com Logistics Investment During Beijing Visit

5 September 2025

BEIJING: JD.com has announced that its executives met with Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Beijing on 2 September 2025. During his visit, the Prime Minister and the Malaysian Minister of Transport, Anthony Loke, extended an invitation to JD.com to invest in smart warehousing facilities to enhance Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s role as a regional logistics hub and to provide more efficient support for Malaysian and ASEAN products entering China.

Hu Wei, a member of JD.com’s Strategy Executive Committee and CEO of JINGDONG Logistics (JD Logistics), confirmed that the company will continue to expand its investments in Malaysia. This includes increasing the promotion of Malaysian products in China and strengthening bilateral logistics and supply chain capabilities.

China has been Malaysia’s largest trading partner for sixteen consecutive years. JD Logistics, the logistics arm of JD.com, with its extensive warehousing network and cross-border expertise, is well positioned to support Malaysia’s growing trade demands. By leveraging local infrastructure, JINGDONG Logistics offers logistics solutions that meet Malaysian standards and ensure Malaysian products reach Chinese consumers efficiently.

Since 2019, JINGDONG Logistics has established four local warehouses supporting both Malaysian and Chinese brands. To enhance efficiency and accuracy, digitalised packaging and sorting processes have been introduced. Goods placed on smart weighing stations with integrated scanners automatically record weight, volume, and dimensions, with all data logged into the system. Tens of thousands of items are processed daily, with integrated warehousing, transportation, and delivery enabling same-day fulfilment.

To further bolster trade between China and Malaysia, JINGDONG Logistics has launched dedicated cargo flights between Shenzhen and Kuala Lumpur, allowing fresh Malaysian agricultural products to reach China swiftly, while Chinese electronics and consumer goods are delivered efficiently to Malaysia.

JINGDONG Logistics is expanding its presence in Malaysia through new services and operational improvements. Later this year, the company will introduce self-operated large-item delivery and assembly services, initially in Kuala Lumpur with same-day fulfilment in select areas, and next-day delivery in regions including Penang and Johor.

Supported by a dedicated local fleet and a growing pool of trained Malaysian logistics and e-commerce professionals, JD Logistics collaborates with local organisations to identify talent and provide specialised training in China. By combining skilled personnel with robust infrastructure, JINGDONG Logistics aims to strengthen supply chain efficiency, reliability, and service quality for both domestic and cross-border trade.

JD.com, Inc., also known as JINGDONG, has evolved from a pioneering e-commerce platform into a leading technology and service provider centred on supply chain solutions. Its business now spans retail, technology, logistics, healthcare, industrials, property development, innovative retail, and international markets. Ranked 44th on the Fortune Global 500, JD.com is China’s largest retailer by revenue.
