Abstract

China, as the bright spot in the international economic development, has being joined into the global market. The sustained economic growth in China is the driving force to the rapid development of logistics. In this chapter we first present a general overview of China’s logistics developments. Summarizing the current development of China’s logistics industry, we can say that the market and growth potential is very large, government enthusiasm is very high, situations change very fast. The rapid growth of the economy and the huge demand for the logistics services sharply contrast the low operational efficiency of domestic logistics system. Then the obstacles and challenges faced by the logistics industry in China are analyzed. At last the opportunities and tactics for developing logistics business in China are discussed.
