用法筆記

A relatively recent loanword from Chinese, 'daigou' entered English around 2010 as cross-border e-commerce from China expanded. It always implies the buyer is outside China and the customer is inside China — unlike a general 'personal shopper' who might work within the same city. Frequently used attributively (daigou shopper, daigou market).
