Be it virtual reality or cutting-edge artificial intelligence gadgets, products that are unveiled at the original International CES annually in Las Vegas are going to make their way to China with the help of the e-commerce website.

Yin Jing, president of Tmall 3C & Home Appliance Business Unit of Alibaba Group, said that the CES Asia 2016 will trigger the start of collaboration between Alibaba and CTA, and the two sides will extend further cooperation at the International CES 2017 held in Las Vegas.

"The active buyers on Alibaba's e-commerce platforms have surpassed 400 million, which is higher than the entire population of the US," Yin said.
