BEIJING: Alibaba's online shopping platforms Taobao and Tmall cancelled their annual Dec. 12 shopping festival and will instead host another shopping spree called 'year-end good price' in December, according to notices on the platforms' websites on Friday.
The dates of the new festival were not included in the notice, which was posted in a help section for platform merchants. Alibaba did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the change.
