Mailboxes and parcel cabinets have been installed at the "village post stations" of 28 border villages in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, and all 39 border villages in Baoshan, Yunnan Province have been connected to postal services...... A more complete and stable postal universal service network allows for wider extension and stronger delivery capacity.
Every Tuesday and Friday, international parcels from all over the country are sent from Chongqing to many European countries by China-Europe trains; every day, nearly 90 cargo flights take off and land at Huahu Airport in Ezhou, Hubei Province, and "reaching the whole country overnight and connecting the world the next day" is becoming a reality.
"Over the past year, the high-quality development of China's postal express industry has achieved remarkable results. Zhao Chongjiu, director of the State Post Bureau, said that in 2023, the delivery business volume of China's postal industry will complete 1620 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 16.5%. Among them, the express business volume and business income reached 1320 billion pieces and 1.2 trillion yuan respectively, an increase of 19.5% and 14.5% year-on-year respectively, hitting a record high.
The trunk line has efficient transportation capacity, improved technical capabilities, and a more stable service network
The overall efficiency of the infrastructure has been enhanced
As night falls, Ezhou Huahu Airport ushers in the busiest time of the day -
In the white light emitted by rows of lampposts, all cargo planes landed in an orderly manner, and in the transfer center not far from the apron, the three-layer automatic sorting equipment was running at high speed, and the express packages unloaded from the plane were quickly distributed to the corresponding partitions and transported to various places. As of December last year, SF Express had opened a total of 12 domestic routes and 45 international routes at Huahu Airport, with an annual cargo volume of more than 10,20 tons.
The busy scene of Huahu Airport is a vivid microcosm of the continuous consolidation of the infrastructure system of China's express delivery industry. "In the past year, through the study and formulation of guidelines for the layout and construction of postal express hubs, we have promoted the continuous improvement of the overall efficiency of the industry's infrastructure. The relevant person in charge of the State Post Bureau introduced.
Looking at the trunk transport capacity, express delivery companies have put into use large-volume vehicles, and the road freight capacity has been enhanced. The industry's own airlines have successively opened a number of international routes such as "Wenzhou-Manila", "Hangzhou-Dubai" and "Changsha-Budapest", effectively smoothing the Asia-Europe air delivery channels and efficiently supporting cross-border e-commerce, fresh transportation and manufacturing to go abroad.

Looking at the service network, in the past year, the infrastructure in the border areas has continued to improve, and the universal postal service network has become more stable. The results of direct postal communication in organized villages have been continuously consolidated, with full coverage basically achieved three or more times a week, nearly half of the five times a week or more, and China Post has increased the delivery frequency compliance rate to 99.89% in the western region. All 3356,<> border natural villages across the country have been connected to the postal service, and the level of public services in the industry has been continuously improved.
Entering the village is going deeper, entering the factory is integrated and developed, and going to sea is vigorously promoted
Express delivery helps improve the ability of smooth circulation
The express delivery industry is connected to production and consumption, which is an important part of supporting the smooth urban and rural economic cycle.
"Over the past year, the construction of China's rural mail and logistics system has been accelerated, the ability to serve the industrial chain and supply chain has been continuously enhanced, and the construction of the international mail and delivery system has been vigorously promoted, helping to continuously improve the ability of smooth circulation.

It is the peak season of kiwifruit sales, as one of the main producing areas, many farmers are busy harvesting in Yangjiaqiao Village, Cangxi County, Guangyuan, Sichuan. "In the past, only the county had express delivery, and the village could only find a logistics vehicle to send fruits. Now the express distribution center goes to the countryside and enters the village, and the agricultural products enter the city much faster. Kiwifruit grower Tan Mingfang said.
"We have opened 31 town-level distribution points in Cangxi County, covering 168 village-level sites. According to the person in charge of the Zhongtong Express outlet in Cangxi County, at present, more than 1,80 votes of fruit are sent to all parts of the country every day, of which red kiwifruit accounts for more than <>%.
