Now why wouldn’t these same companies with their Chinese brick and mortar sales being adversely impacted not start to market their products through on-line shopping sites extant in China?

Yeah, now that they have over four million new Social Security numbers to use.

So what are they buying online? A change in how does not necessarily translate to a change in what, just the distribution method. Are these companies misreading the tea leaves? I’m thinking massive counterfeiting enabled by the web

Making deliveries must be a b*tch; I DON’T envy those poor Chinese drivers for UPS/Fedex.

“Nestlé SA has been burning instant coffee it couldn’t sell in stores”
Off topic, but it's probably appropriate to burn instant coffee. Personal bias..

Who are their suppliers....is there a Chinese Amazon?
Is there a chinese fedex?

Using American online retailers to buy products in their country. A bit or irony.
