  ABSTRACT: Despite the impact of buyers’ economic environment on the spread of Chinese product brands worldwide through Chinese’s International Online Shopping (CIOS), very few researchers are interested in it. Based on 19,493 purchases of Chinese smartphone brands, transaction variables, consumer economic environment data, and a hierarchical regression model, we investigated how consumer economic environment and transactional variables differentially assess consumers’ preferences for Chinese smartphones. The result showed that the consumer economic environment positively influences smartphone choice preferences. Thus, the study improves practitioners’ understanding on Chinese smartphone globalization and contributes to a better understanding of the Chinese international Online shopping Market (CIOSM). Such a model can be used to guide e-retailers and brand managers.
