Courier orders surge
Print Edition
Chinese courier firms delivered around 15.6 billion express packages in the first 10 months of 2015, a 46 percent jump than in the same period last year, a postal official said.
By 2020, it is believed that these companies will handle 50 billion express parcels annually, and generate 800 billion yuan (US$125 billion) in business revenue, said Ma Junsheng, head of the State Post Bureau, during an international express conference in Hangzhou.
Despite a slowing economy, express delivery services have grown steadily in China as online shopping has gained popularity. The industry, in which 200,000 new jobs are created every year, has helped the government to achieve its target of boosting domestic consumption.
On the safety risks in the industry, Ma asked the courier companies to self-regulate and urged the public to speak up against those who fail on promises. The officials want violators to be put on a blacklist and punished.
