Post urges greater delivery supervision

A campaign to crack down on illegal activities in the mail and express delivery sector has been carried out with the aim of promoting delivery safety, the State Post Bureau of China said recently.

The six-month campaign was carried out by 17 government departments, including the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the Cyberspace Administration of China, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security and the Civil Aviation Administration of China.

In recent years, crimes involving the delivery of illegal items have occurred from time to time. A wide variety of items are either prohibited or restricted for delivery in China, including drugs, guns, dangerous chemicals, wild animals and plants and their derivatives, as well as products associated with invasive foreign species.
