DHL Express: China's policy moves to aid growth

China's recent efforts to strengthen foreign trade through a raft of policy measures offer new opportunities for international logistics corporations like DHL Express to further grow their businesses in the country, according to a senior executive.

China has been opening up its market to the rest of the world to unleash the large potential of its megamarket and has put in place favorable policies to support foreign firms in expanding their operations in the country, said Wu Dongming, CEO of DHL Express China.

The State Council, China's Cabinet, unveiled in March an action plan comprising 24 specific pro-foreign investment measures. The plan included targeted measures to expand market access, enhance the appeal for foreign investment, foster a level-playing field, facilitate the flow of innovation factors as well as better align domestic rules with high-standard international economic and trade rules.
