October 9 marks World Post Day, a celebration established in 1874 to commemorate the creation of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). This day aims to raise awareness about the crucial role postal services play in our daily lives, benefiting individuals, businesses, and contributing to global socioeconomic development.
In line with the global focus on postal services, China's express delivery sector has witnessed remarkable growth. According to the State Post Bureau (SPB), the annual express delivery volume reached a staggering 132.1 billion packages in 2023, generating a revenue of 1.2 trillion yuan.
This rapid expansion underscores China's dominance in the global logistics and e-commerce landscape, highlighting the country's ability to meet the ever-increasing demands of consumers and businesses alike.
