There are 4 supermarkets within 3km of my home, including Fruit and Vegetable Good, Qifresh, Hema and Wumart, representing three levels of supermarkets in high-end, mid-end and low-end respectively. In the past two months, Qixian and Wumei have closed one after another, leaving only fruits, vegetables and Hema to support it. The closure of Qixian and Wumart is not without signs. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, every time I go to the supermarket, the city has been deserted and there are few customers. Because there are fewer customers, the variety of things sold is getting smaller and smaller. The milk I often buy is only 14 days because its shelf life is only 14 days, and later Qifen stopped selling it.
Unlike the depression of physical supermarkets, the sales of e-commerce platforms are still very popular. In addition to JD.com , Taobao, and Pinduoduo, Douyin 's live streaming sales have also been doing well recently. Everyone is accustomed to shopping on mobile phones, watching live streams, and making money. They don't like to visit physical stores anymore. Especially when selling goods on live streaming, exaggerated language and nervous countdowns, they create an atmosphere of losing money if you don’t buy. Even my mother, who is usually like a rooster, buys and buys on Douyin live streaming.
E-commerce not only impacts the real economy, but also brings many social problems.
1. E-commerce products are mixed and the quality is difficult to guarantee. Unlike large supermarkets, physical stores, and opening doors to do business, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau can check goods at any time, while e-commerce, large and small virtual stores, mixed with a large number of three-no products, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is powerless even if it wants to check.
2. A price war without bottom line and vicious competition. When fighting a price war, customers may be attracted soon, but low prices and low profits will soon lead to no money to make money and can only cut corners, and the customers will suffer in the end. In the end, customers are the ones who suffer the most from such vicious competition.
3. Express delivery has caused a lot of environmental pollution. E-commerce delivery depends on express delivery. Express packaging is a huge waste. Every time I see express packaging boxes piled up in the garbage station in the community, I wonder if I should charge e-commerce corresponding environmental protection taxes?

E-commerce is an emerging economic model. Forced ban is equivalent to going against the trend, but it is necessary to introduce some policies to increase the quality control, price control and levy corresponding e-commerce taxes on e-commerce. If you don’t break, you won’t establish it. If you break it, you will be based on it. I believe that under government supervision, the e-commerce economy and the real economy will enter a virtuous cycle of mutual promotion and healthy development.
