| Over 4,000 parcels were destroyed after a courier truck caught fire on a highway in Jiangxi province on November 12, 2015. The goods valued more than one million yuan in total. Police said the fire started from some parcels while an investigation was under way. China's Internet users spent more than 91 billion yuan ($14.3 billion) in the planet’s biggest online shopping splurge on Wednesday, as “Singles Day” shopping celebrations hit new heights. Singles Day is not a traditional festival, but e-commerce giant Alibaba has been pushing November 11 — a date heavy on ones — since 2009 as it looks to tap the country’s huge, and expanding, army of Internet shoppers.
