Response to the Staff’s Comments on the Draft Registration

Dear Mr. Spirgel, Mr. Kauten, Mr. Littlepage and Mr. Cascarano:

On behalf of our client, Dada Nexus Limited, a foreign private issuer organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (the
“Company”), we submit to the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) this letter setting forth the Company’s responses to the comments contained in the
Staff’s letter dated May 12, 2020 on the Company’s amendment No. 4 to draft registration statement on Form F-1 submitted on May 6, 2020 (the “Draft Registration
Statement”).

 The Company publicly filed its registration statement on Form
F-1 via EDGAR on May 12, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). Concurrently with the submission of this letter, the Company is submitting its amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement
on Form F-1 (the “Revised Registration Statement”) via EDGAR to the Commission.

To facilitate the Staff’s review, we will separately deliver to the Staff today five courtesy copies of the Revised Registration
Statement, marked to show changes to the Draft Registration Statement.

 The Staff’s comments are repeated below in bold and are
followed by the Company’s responses. We have included page references in the Revised Registration Statement where the language addressing the comment appears. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth
in the Revised Registration Statement.

 Risk Factors

Risks Related to Doing Business in China, page 42

1.
 We note your risk factor discussion of limitations on the ability of the PCAOB to conduct investigations of
your auditor. Please include another risk factor that highlights recent developments (e.g. Article 177 of PRC Securities Law effective March 2020) possibly further limiting an overseas regulator from conducting investigations or from collecting
evidence within the PRC.

 In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has added a risk factor on pages 44
and 45 of the Revised Registration Statement.

 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, page 103

3.
 We note that you continue to implement a plan to remediate the material weakness that you identified in your
internal control over financial reporting. Please revise to clarify what remains to be completed in your remediation plan. Also, if the material weakness has not been fully remediated, revise to disclose how long you estimate it will take to
complete your plan and disclose any associated material costs that you have incurred or expect to incur.

 In response
to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the referenced disclosure on page 104 of the Revised Registration Statement.

 Description of
American Depositary Shares

 Governing Law, page 190

4.
 You state that the deposit agreement includes an exclusive jurisdiction provision as well as the right of
the depositary to refer any claims brought for arbitration. Please further disclose here and in your risk factors how the exclusive jurisdiction provision and the arbitration provision impacts ADS holders, whether these provisions apply to actions
arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act and address any question as to the enforceability of the arbitration provision. Moreover, please disclose in both your registration statement and the depositary agreement that despite agreeing to the
arbitration provision, investors will not be deemed to have waived the company’s or the depositary’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company has updated the referenced disclosure on pages 60, 61 and 194 of the Revised Registration
Statement.

 The Staff’s comment on the depositary agreement is duly noted and the Company will include the required provision
thereunder and file the depositary agreement in due course.

 General

5.
 We note your presentation of total value of goods delivered (GMV) for JDDJ in your graphic. In order to
provide proper balance to the presentation, please include disclosure of your continuing net losses.

 In response to
the Staff’s comment, the Company has removed the presentation of GMV for JDDJ on the cover graphic of the Revised Registration Statement.
