"Streamlined logistics, thriving commerce. In recent times, numerous regions across the country have proposed to build strong logistics provinces, vowing to strive to become...""National Modern Business and Logistics Key Base." This not only fully affirms the driving role of express logistics in economic development, but also indicates that express logistics has a positive impact on enhancing regional radiation function, improving the quality of economic operation, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure.
Express delivery and logistics, linking production and consumption, play a crucial role in extending the industrial chain, enhancing the value chain, and building the supply chain. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China's postal and express delivery network has been rapidly advancing, with a number of hub-type mail and express sorting centers put into operation, and nearly all types of sorting centers have been established.3,000, effectively serving the stability of the industrial chain and supply chain, and robustly ensuring the postal needs of the people. Aligning with the national comprehensive transportation system, the capacity of aviation, high-speed rail, and road transportation has also been continuously enhanced, providing a powerful impetus for economic and social development.
Express delivery and logistics is one of the key channels for the outflow of agricultural products from rural areas to urban areas, and for the influx of consumer goods into rural villages. It plays a significant role in meeting the production and living needs of rural populations and in promoting rural revitalization. In recent years, with the accelerated construction of the rural postal and logistics system,"Coverage of 'Express Delivery to Villages' Continues to Rise, Further Unlocking the Consumer Potential in Rural Areas, with Over 100 Million Express Parcels Entering and Exiting Villages on Average Each Day."
Now, various provinces are striving to become strong logistics construction regions.The construction and roadmap are now clear. The next crucial step is to accelerate the implementation of "logistics-driven" initiatives, transforming logistics strengths into hub economic advantages, and forming a modern logistics operation system that aligns with the local economic development.
On one hand, it is essential to fully leverage local characteristics and advantages. During the process of building a province with strong logistics, some regions have the advantage of transportation hubs, others have industrial cluster advantages, and still others have logistics scale advantages. Each region should adapt to its local conditions, make the most of its strengths, and take the initiative. For instance, Hebei Province has actively undertaken the transfer of Beijing's regional logistics functions, deepened collaborative efforts in the construction of major logistics infrastructure with Beijing and Tianjin, and has planned and constructed a batch of warehousing and distribution facilities, as well as commercial logistics reception platforms, attracting numerous express and logistics companies to settle in.
On the other hand, it is essential to boost the intrinsic driving force of logistics development. To build a province strong in logistics, the active participation of express and logistics companies is indispensable. We need to guide these companies to integrate core resources, continuously extend the service of the industrial chain, drive the collaborative development of upstream and downstream enterprises, and createA logistics enterprise cluster offering "full industrial chain" services. It has established a comprehensive multi-modal transportation service system, including aviation, rail, and road, and improved the urban-rural distribution network. It promotes division of labor and effective coordination between hubs.
A favorable business environment is also indispensable. We must enhance policy support and deepen the logistics sector."Reform of 'delegation, simplification, and regulation', guides logistics companies and universities to establish a 'production, research, and education' cooperation mechanism, accelerating the formation of a complete professional logistics talent梯队. Especially, focus on the pain points and difficulties in the express logistics industry, actively implement policies, and promote the implementation and effectiveness of various measures. For instance, in response to the difficulties in last-mile delivery, such as difficult access, parking, and loading/unloading, optimize city distribution vehicle traffic control measures, unify appearance identification, incorporate express logistics end locations into urban planning, and address issues like the difficulty of finding a home for distribution outlets."
