Walmart China has named Zhu Xiaojing Christina as president and CEO, effective May 8, its first female head in China. Current CEO Wern-Yuen Tan will leave the company after three years to return home to his family in Singapore. Zhu joins Walmart from Fonterra China, where she most recently served as president. The new appointment signals the US retailer's direction to be more digitalized and innovative in China's competitive retail（零售的）market.

The speed and effectiveness of Walmart's global response to the pandemic is a credit to Yuen's leadership.
