by Rachel Liu
On August 25th, Nikon’s new full frame mirrorless Z5 camera launched exclusively on JD in China. The product was available for pre-order on JD starting August 11th and was greatly welcomed by customers. During the first week of the launch, JD also provided customers with services such as 30-day return and price insurance. On August 25th, sales of Nikon on JD increased 400% YOY.
The Nikon Z5 collection is an entry-level full frame camera priced under RMB 10,000 yuan, so is suitable for young customers and new photography addicts. The camera is equipped with a 24.3 MP full frame CMOS sensor to capture detailed images even in a low-light environment. It is powered by Nikon’s EXPEED 6 image processing system and 5-axis VR image stabilization system for high-quality, high-clarity photos. Its Eye-Detection Autofocus can quickly find subjects’ eyes and follow them as they move. The 273 focus points can easily focus on the subject wherever it is in the frame. Those features actually make Z5 also a good choice for vloggers and professional filming teams.
JD has also been the first choice for many electronic brands to launch their new products, and has a vast group of high-end, young customers who demand high-quality products, which is the reason for Nikon to choose JD for the launch of its Z5. To help Nikon better promote the new product, JD also prepared gift boxes for customers including SD card, camera cleaning products and a backpack. The company also hosted photography professionals on a series of livestreams over the course of one week.
“I think Nikon Z5 is a great choice for those who have just started to learn photography. Its full frame lenses can capture more image area, and the stabilization system makes it easy to handle. The price of Z5 on JD is also very competitive for a full frame camera. I started to buy cameras and accessories on JD years ago because of the fast delivery and great service,” said Ge Shi, an experienced extreme landscapes photographer.

Archil Kalandia, Ambassador of Georgia to China, introduced the tradition of Qvevri wine-making method, which was recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage, by showing photos of clay vessels buried underground.
“The process is very natural, and it’s linked with the ground. For us, wine is in life rather than just a drink,” said the ambassador, demonstrating a traditional Georgian drinking horn which is used in ritual toasting. He also presented Borjomi carbonated mineral water from one of the world’s four most recognized longevity places, Caucasus of Georgia.
H.E. Dumitru Braghis, Ambassador of Moldova to China, first showed audience organic products such as nuts, cosmetics, walnut oil and honey. Since wine is also cornerstone of Moldova’s cultural identity, Ambassador Braghis brought ten bottles to stage with profound introduction of the world’s Top 2 largest wine cellars, Mileștii Mici and Cricova which are underground.
“I’m sure that next year we (China and Moldova) will have more, better and bigger results and we will be able to show to everybody that this friendship is already mature like Moldova wine,” said the ambassador.
The textile industry is the largest manufacturing industry in Pakistan, contributing a majority of the country’s exports. H.E. Moin ul Haque, Ambassador of Pakistan to China, displayed both traditional Chitrali hat and hand-made scarfs to unfold the exquisite dying and weaving techniques, as well as Pakistani gem and rice.
The well-known Ceylon tea, ginger cookies and coconut-based products from Sri Lanka impressed Chinese audience with Ambassador Palitha T. B. Kohona’s intriguing presentation. “For various reasons, Ceylon tea is considered to be one of the best black tea in the world,” said Ambassador Kohona, adding that the climate, the soil and the way of tea plucking and processing might be the reasons why the tea is special in color, aroma, taste and intensity.
Dr. Michael Berger, Commercial Counselor of the Austrian Embassy in Beijing, was delighted to see a variety of products such as Red Bull, wafer, milk and wine are popular in China. He highlighted that cows drink natural water and eat grass in meadow in Austria, which is one of the most advanced countries in biological agriculture, and some listen to classical music by Austrian composers Mozart and Haydn to help boost milk quality.
By sharing a story about Venus, the Queen of Cyprus, and her son Cupid, Mr. Petros Petrou, Commercial Counselor of the Cypriot Embassy in Beijing kicked off his demonstration with an array of specialties including traditional Halloumi cheese, blue wine and stuffed toys of Talking Tom.
