TheStreet breaks down how retail sales during the holidays works.
The difference between Cyber Monday and Alibaba Singles Day.
Let's get started: These two days are the biggest online spending days of the year for both the U.S. and China.

China Cyber Monday?
U.S. But there's a key difference.
Alibaba is one company.
It's one of China's largest tech companies - think of it like it's the Amazon of China.
Total e-commerce giant.
And every year, Alibaba has a day where it sells discounted items on its platform and markets the day as kind of a holiday sales day to everyone in China.
The company now does north of $30 billion in sales on Alibaba Singles day.
Cyber Monday is basically a marketing term for the Monday after Thanksgiving, when tons of online retailers, large and small, hawk discounted products online for holiday shoppers ready to spend.
In 2018, Cyber Monday saw $7.8 billion in sales.
