SHENZHEN -- China's biggest shopping day brought another sales record for Alibaba Group Holding, with the Nov. 11 Single's Day bringing in $17.8 billion-worth of goods and services, boosted by Chinese enthusiasm for overseas brands.
"I've been waiting for this day to happen!" said Lin Lin, a 26-year-old plastic surgeon living in central Beijing. She splashed about 30,000 yuan ($4,400) on clothes and shoes on Alibaba's shopping platform Taobao on Friday.
