Amazon.com started as an online bookstore in 1994 and has since expanded to sell a wide variety of products online and offline. It has headquarters in Seattle and operates websites in many countries around the world. To strengthen its position in China, Amazon could pursue a market penetration strategy by further utilizing its existing investments and relationships with local merchants to offer more localized products to Chinese consumers. This would make use of Amazon's skills and reduce financial risks compared to entering a new market.
