Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com said on Monday that it had launched a new food business and brought back a veteran company to lead the unit.

The “Innovative Retail” unit will house JD’s 7Fresh grocery store and group-buying unit Pinpin, a spokesperson confirmed to CNBC.

Yan Xiaobing, who left JD in 2021 after leading the company’s international business, will return to head the Innovative Retail group, the spokesman said.

Meanwhile, JD Logistics, the logistics arm of JD.com, announced that CEO Yu Rui is stepping down as CEO due to health reasons and is being replaced by Hu Wei.

JD’s leadership change comes amid sweeping changes at the Chinese tech giants.

AlibabaJD’s biggest e-commerce rival in China, split your company into six separate business units this year, the biggest restructuring in its history.

Last week, Daniel Zhang, the current CEO and chairman of Alibaba, announced plans to step down and lead the company’s cloud computing unit.

Alibaba co-founder Eddie Wu will take over as CEO Joe Tsai, another veteran at the firm will take over as chairman.

One of the business units Alibaba spun off as part of its restructuring is the “local services” group, which covers its food delivery and grocery stores.
