This paper intends to address the channel selection strategy for e-commerce enterprises and the coordination of the whole supply chain under the government\u2019s green subsidy policy. Game theory is used to analyze the strategy of channel selection based on logistics distribution, e-commerce platform, consumer preference, and green governmental subsidy. The findings are as follows: (1) Self-established logistics cost and platform commission rates are important factors affecting channel selection. With the increase in consumers\u2019 preference for a green economy, consumers are more inclined to choose platform channels. (2) Green governmental subsidies represent an advantageous strategy for the whole supply chain, and under its influence, the Pareto improvement of the supply chain can be realized. (3) Cooperation with other companies using the platform franchise system can maximize the benefits of the supply chain, which also can improve consumer satisfaction and increase the profits of e-commerce enterprises at the same time. In conclusion, a platform franchise contract is proposed to coordinate the supply chain and realize the rapid development of the green economy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems13030172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,3]],"date-time":"2025-03-03T03:22:44Z","timestamp":1740972164000},"page":"172","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Channel Selection Strategies of Chinese E-Commerce Supply Chains Under Green Governmental Subsidies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Lingyu","family":"Gao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Logistics, Beijing Wuzi University, Beijing 101149, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoli","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0780-156X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xu","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101321","DOI":"10.1016\/j.elerap.2023.101321","article-title":"Live streaming channel strategy of an online retailer in a supply chain","volume":"62","author":"Chen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Electron.
