taobao(mainland china) and taobao(worldwide) are 2 completely different things, imo taobao(worldwide) is just another aliexpress

Just another? Taobao is the mainland version, aliexpress the international. Both are the same company, alibaba.

You can select worldwide in a dropdown menu on Taobao and it'll take you to it

The china version of aliexpress is 1688. Taobao has an international version as well, though I don’t see the point tbh.

Afaik you need to set up a separate storefront on AliExpress catering to international buyers, but there's no such requirements for Taobao even on the "international" website. It's just set up as a convenience for people browsing the site from overseas, and also provides support for foreign currency payments, but other than that it's up to the seller to manage everything.
