SHANGHAI -- As Japan's largest retailer, Aeon, struggles with conservative, cash-wielding consumers at home, it is looking to a China to learn how to adapt to a quickly changing industry.
Aeon will spend 500 billion yen ($4.6 billion) on its Chinese digital business through February 2021. The funds will go toward incorporating various innovations powering the e-commerce business here, and the technology will be transferred back to Japan as well as to Southeast Asia.
