Companies accelerate logistics investment and air cargo services efforts

Chinese express delivery and logistics companies are stepping up efforts to invest in logistics infrastructure globally and provide air cargo services, according to experts.

These efforts are part of a broader push by the companies to improve delivery efficiency and ensure the stability and security of supply chains, they said.
