Chinese online retailer JD.com has announced it’s able to deliver products to people living in the city of Sansha.

Sansha was established as a city on an island in South China Sea in 2012.

JD.com says it’s still building its essential infrastructure, so only small packages can be delivered to people there for the time being.

JD's base on the island will eventually allow it to deliver bigger home appliances such as TVs, refrigerators and washing machines.

It will also help the sale and delivery of Sansha's local specialties, such as seafood and fruit, to other parts of China.
