Platform launched to boost used car exports

Imagine this. A car you have sold may one day travel across the ocean to be used by someone in Africa, the Middle East or Southeast Asia.

On Thursday, the Shanghai Used Car International Trading Comprehensive Service Platform was launched in the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, marking a milestone in the global trade of secondhand cars.

As a major hub of China's automobile industry and the world's largest trading port, Shanghai's secondhand car exports have continued to heat up.
