• Chen Shuping, a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed a proposal to strengthen the safety management of the logistics and delivery industry in Beijing. She believes that there are currently the following problems in the logistics industry: firstly, there is no progress in the safety management of road freight transportation enterprises and freight stations by the municipal transportation department. The second issue is that there is no unified government planning and construction of logistics parks that can be occupied, resulting in a vicious cycle of repeated illegal land use and illegal operation. Thirdly, there is a lack of law enforcement and supervision capabilities related to the government.

  Beijing: Proposal to Strengthen Security Management in the Logistics Industry
  Chen Shuping, a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed a proposal to strengthen the safety management of the logistics and delivery industry in Beijing. She believes that there are currently the following problems in the logistics industry: firstly, there is no progress in the safety management of road freight transportation enterprises and freight stations by the municipal transportation department. The second issue is that there is no unified government planning and construction of logistics parks that can be occupied, resulting in a vicious cycle of repeated illegal land use and illegal operation. Thirdly, there is a lack of law enforcement and supervision capabilities related to the government.
  At the same time, Committee Member Chen proposed relevant suggestions: as the main responsible department for road freight transportation, the municipal transportation department should conscientiously implement the safety requirements put forward by relevant national departments for road freight transportation enterprises and freight stations. The municipal government's planning, land and resources, and the National Development and Reform Commission should carefully study and solve the problem of logistics and freight enterprise relocation. The Municipal Government and the Municipal Compilation Office have increased their staffing as the main responsible department for the supervision of the logistics and delivery industry of the Municipal Postal Bureau; Configure logistics and delivery safety supervision and management institutions and personnel for the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
  At the same time, regarding the safety hazards of express delivery drivers, Yu Kai, a member of the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, believes that the current postal industry standard for express delivery services does not have any requirements for the safe operation of express delivery drivers. This city should promptly introduce mandatory local technical standards for electric tricycles for express delivery, and pay attention to traffic safety during the delivery process as much as it does to postal safety. Increase training on driving skills for express delivery personnel, and establish safe driving records for express delivery personnel. We need to establish a special complaint and reporting hotline, mobilize the general public to jointly supervise, and so on.
  Keyword 2: Last mile of express delivery
  Zhejiang: Express delivery needs to solve the "last mile" problem
  According to Tong Wenhong, a member of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the number of express parcels in China exceeded 20 billion in 2015, and China's e-commerce is developing rapidly. As a major e-commerce province in China, Zhejiang's express delivery industry has shown explosive growth in recent years. But it also faces the practical challenge of poor traffic for express delivery vehicles and logistics transport vehicles, which urgently needs to be addressed.
  Whether the "last mile problem" in China's circulation system can be effectively solved, according to Tong Wenhong, the management of express delivery vehicles involves multiple departments such as public security traffic management, road transportation, and postal management. A specialized cross departmental leadership group needs to be established to lead the research and form a coordinated solution.
  Committee member Tong Wenhong suggested that in accordance with the "Technical Requirements for Electric Tricycles for Express Delivery" issued by the State Administration of Posts and Telecommunications, technical and production standards for electric tricycles in Zhejiang Province should be formulated, and designated express delivery companies should purchase from compliant enterprises and issue corresponding certificates.
  Liaoning: Strengthening the Construction of Convenient Channel Stations in Rural Areas
  Recently, the Liaoning Provincial Government issued the "2016 Provincial Government Work Report Task Decomposition Plan", which proposed to strengthen the construction of convenient channel stations in rural areas guided by the needs of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers. In 2016, we plan to build 2000 convenient service facilities in rural areas, with an investment of approximately 3000 yuan per site.
  At the same time, we plan to upgrade 860 convenient service facilities to "Younongfeng" rural professional cooperatives in accordance with the standard of "one township, one community", to assist in the sales of agricultural products, and basically form a convenient service platform system that covers rural areas throughout the province and has a reasonable layout. In 2016, the province plans to build 3000 "village post TESCO Group" e-commerce stations. Improve logistics and warehousing conditions, and facilitate the circulation channels of local specialty agricultural products.
  Guide postal enterprises to implement the construction of city and county storage centers, with plans to build 14 city level storage centers and 44 county-level storage centers. Each city level storage center is planned to invest 300000 yuan, and each county-level storage center is planned to invest 150000 yuan, comprehensively strengthening the local specialty agricultural product storage flow network.
  Jiangsu: Realistic challenges such as the "last mile" of Taobao Village
  Professor Wang Geng from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics and several members of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will focus on the emerging rural Taobao. Before unleashing the potential of the vast rural market, practical problems such as the difficulty of transportation in the last mile are right in front of us.
  He believes that for enterprises to independently build e-commerce platforms or build stores on third-party platforms, the most scarce are funds and technology. In terms of funding, due to the lack of immediate investment in building e-commerce platforms and the low enthusiasm of enterprises for investment, timely support from the government can help increase the enthusiasm of enterprises to expand the e-commerce market.
  He proposed to support the construction of third-party "logistics transfer station" networks, with third-party logistics enterprises comprehensively laying out transfer networks in counties, townships, or across regions to extend the distribution scope. After the packages of each express delivery company are delivered to the transfer station, they are recombined by the transfer station and uniformly delivered to the village. The government provides support policies for "logistics transfer stations" in terms of tax and land use fee incentives. At the same time, we also encourage young technological talents such as those born in the 1980s and 1990s to immerse themselves in the vast blue ocean of rural e-commerce, using high-end and refined agricultural product sales as a breakthrough point to build a group of "small and refined" rural e-commerce enterprises.
  Keyword 3: Logistics ecosystem
  Shandong: Committee member suggests expanding logistics network outward
  A member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference stated that the construction of a regional logistics center in Jinan cannot be limited to within the province. "To build a regional logistics center that aligns with the national development strategy, Jinan needs to break away from urban and provincial areas and build an open regional logistics system." Ma Liming, member of the Standing Committee of the Jinan Municipal Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of the Jinan Academy of Social Sciences, suggested that Jinan should develop a multimodal transportation and circulation system and create an open regional logistics center. We should fully leverage Jinan's geographical advantages, make use of its connection to the Beijing Tianjin Hebei metropolitan area in the north, the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone in the south, the inland land in the west, and the port clusters of Qingdao, Yantai, and Rizhao in the east. Combined with the import and export business of the comprehensive bonded zone and airport logistics park, we should focus on building a multimodal transportation and circulation system for public transportation, rail transportation, and aviation. Jinan should form water transportation logistics through water system construction, and then combine it with the original transportation form to build a multimodal logistics ecosystem using the concept of "supply chain+".
  Hubei: It is recommended that the national level new area, based on its logistics advantages, be declared as the "Wuhan Yangtze River New Area" by Wuhan City in Hubei Province. In response, Li Chunyang, member of the Wuhan Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Yangtze River Basin Economic Research Institute of the Municipal Academy of Social Sciences, suggested that the new area can rely on logistics advantages such as Tianhe Airport and ports to develop the air economy and high-end logistics industry. Li Chunyang believes that the new area can rely on its transportation location advantages, mainly from the layout of high-end logistics and aviation manufacturing industries, utilizing the advantages of Yangtze River shipping, developing port economy, utilizing the geographical advantages of Tianhe Airport, strengthening the planning of the aviation industry, and creating a logistics ecosystem.
  Gansu: Cultivate leading enterprises to support emerging logistics industry
  Logistics enterprises are the core of the development of modern logistics industry. Accelerating the development of modern logistics industry is of great strategic significance for Gansu to quickly integrate into the "the Belt and Road" strategy and promote the sustainable and healthy development of regional economy and society. Wang Bing, a member of the Gansu Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, pointed out at the Fourth Session of the 11th Gansu Provincial Committee that logistics enterprises in Gansu Province are mainly traditional and small and medium-sized enterprises, and are generally in a "small, scattered, and chaotic" state, with problems such as small scale, low efficiency, weak competitiveness, and incomplete services.
  Wang Bing suggested that Gansu Province should actively cultivate large leading logistics enterprises and implement the strategy of promoting large enterprises and large groups in accordance with the principles of "supporting large, optimizing, and strengthening". Increase policy support to support large logistics enterprises through forms such as state-owned asset allocation, enterprise mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions, or equity participation. In addition, we should also actively cultivate and develop new forms of modern logistics industry, formulate preferential policies and measures in terms of supporting funds, taxes, etc., guide social funds, increase investment in key information-based logistics enterprises, and actively support new forms of modern logistics industry such as "Internet plus", e-commerce, futures trading, online shopping, etc.
  Shaanxi: Building a Yangping Railway Logistics Center to Radiate Three Provinces
  Zhang Nan believes that with the rapid development of Baoji's logistics industry, it is extremely conducive to cultivating and developing a modern commercial logistics industry with large commerce, large market, and large throughput. Zhang Nan stated that the Baoji Municipal Government has signed an agreement with Xi'an Railway Bureau to jointly build the Yangping Railway Logistics Center, forming a multifunctional "Baoji Railway Port" with bonded, warehousing, distribution, and other functions. "It is recommended that relevant departments provide preferential support in areas such as development space, industrial layout, land use, and approval authority. At the same time, in arranging special funds for park construction, logistics industry development, etc., they should increase financial support for the construction of infrastructure and warehousing logistics facilities in the Yangping Railway Comprehensive Logistics Center." Zhang Nan said.
  Keyword 4: Cross border e-commerce
  Chongqing: Increase cross-border e-commerce exports and reduce logistics tax costs
  As one of the first cities to become a "dual pilot" city for cross-border e-commerce retail exports and cross-border payments in China, with the opening of "Chongqing New Europe" and the settlement of China Singapore (Chongqing) strategic connectivity demonstration projects, Chongqing's cross-border e-commerce has developed rapidly in recent years. Luo Xiaoming, a member of the Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed the "Proposal on Promoting the Development of Cross border E-commerce Exports through Reform and Innovation". He believes that he recently conducted research on Chongqing Dalong.com, a representative enterprise of cross-border e-commerce in Chongqing, and found that it still faces pain points in policy support, logistics distribution, system services, and tax incentives. Chongqing's cross-border e-commerce has not yet formed an advantage in transportation costs.
  Luo Xiaoming suggests that Chongqing should increase its efforts to research the logistics price situation of the "Chongqing New Europe" trunk line, provide corresponding subsidies for e-commerce enterprises, improve the construction of public regulatory warehouses for cross-border e-commerce exports, provide services such as centralized consolidation of goods for cross-border e-commerce export enterprises, and build Chongqing into a source or distribution center for cross-border e-commerce. At the same time, it is also suggested that Chongqing should reduce the value-added tax for enterprises during the customs clearance process, lower the tax costs for enterprises, and enhance the competitiveness of the export commodity market.
  Keyword 5: Internet+
  Shandong: Building a "Provincial Capital Metropolitan Area Logistics Information Platform"
  Pan Rongqing, member of the Jinan Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Municipal Government Fund Settlement Center, believes that building a regional logistics center cannot solely rely on traditional logistics industries, but should be integrated with information platforms and e-commerce. Jinan should establish a "provincial capital metropolitan area logistics information platform" to collect and integrate various logistics information, and match logistics transactions online; Simultaneously building a logistics financial service platform, providing a series of financial services such as financing, settlement, and insurance, achieving an organic combination of commercial flow, logistics, information flow, and capital flow, reducing logistics transaction costs and financial service costs.
  Pan Rongqing also suggested that the government regulatory department take the lead in establishing a collaborative organization for the development of the logistics industry in the provincial capital metropolitan area, negotiate and formulate a unified logistics industry development plan and goals, and coordinate and solve the difficulties and problems in the operation of logistics enterprises.
  Keyword 6: Supply chain finance
  Shandong: To expand, it is necessary to build an "online supply chain finance" platform
  In the future, logistics companies who can provide financial products and services will become the dominant players in the market.
  In the proposal, the Jinan Municipal Committee of the People's Republic of China suggested that an "online supply chain finance" platform could be established to enable logistics enterprises to conduct online financing transactions, payment transactions, e-commerce transactions, and online logistics and supply chain management with upstream and downstream enterprises. This would connect the financial needs of the upstream and downstream industrial chains of logistics enterprises, achieve low-cost and efficient capital flow, and drive the development of the entire industry.
  Keyword 7: Cold chain logistics  
  Hainan: Rapid Development of Cold Chain Logistics to Ensure Smooth Fresh Transportation
  The scale of modern logistics industry in Hainan Province is gradually increasing, and the level of logistics equipment is also constantly improving. The logistics service capacity is also gradually improving. However, there are still many problems in the cold chain logistics of fresh food: insufficient awareness of cold chain management, low utilization rate of cold chain logistics; Lack of large-scale core enterprises; Incomplete infrastructure construction and serious lag in the development of third-party logistics; A complete cold chain system has not yet been formed and there is a lack of relevant legislation.
  Therefore, the "Proposal" proposes to build a new cold chain logistics supply chain model for agricultural products. A supply chain suitable for cold chain logistics of fresh food should be established throughout the province. In this supply chain, logistics core enterprises and fresh food cooperation organizations are its core. Fresh food producers can either directly cooperate with logistics core enterprises to process the produced fresh food according to requirements, or sell fresh food to logistics core enterprises through fresh food cooperation organizations. Strengthen source management, enhance cold chain awareness, enhance the integration of logistics systems, coordinate cold chain logistics between upstream and downstream, and strengthen the organization and management of cold chain logistics sources. At the same time, agricultural cooperation organizations can sign relevant agreements with logistics core enterprises to encourage farmers to carry out standardized planting, harvesting, and pre cooling of production areas in accordance with the requirements of logistics core enterprises. Strengthen legislative norms to ensure the orderly operation of the supply chain, and supervisory departments should also strengthen law enforcement efforts to ensure that there are laws that must be followed and law enforcement must be strict, ensuring the orderly progress of work in all aspects of the supply chain.
  Key word 8: the Belt and Road  
  At present, 14 provinces in China have clearly stated in their government work reports that they will apply for free trade zones, and more than ten provinces have proposed to vigorously develop cross-border e-commerce in 2016. Ningxia was the first province to propose the construction of the "Online Silk Road" during the 2015 Two Sessions. In 2016, the Ningxia Hub Project of the Online Silk Road will also be launched, and the Ningxia Youxiang International Logistics and Express Center will be built. The China Arab Airlines mail distribution center and cross-border e-commerce transaction service platform will also be built, supporting the establishment of "overseas warehouses" and exhibition centers; The construction of the "the Belt and Road" in Xinjiang will also catch the fast train of the information age, and will build a cloud computing data center in the core area of the Silk Road Economic Belt to realize the shared storage and sharing of basic data resources.
  In addition to closely following the "the Belt and Road" strategy, all regions are still enthusiastic about promoting the construction of the free trade zone. In 2016, the Tianjin and Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zones will promote the first trial of RMB capital account convertibility, striving to provide a model for the whole country; The Fujian Pilot Free Trade Zone prioritizes institutional and mechanism innovation, strives to establish institutional mechanisms that are compatible with international investment and trade rules, cultivates new business formats and functions, fully implements the overall plan, and ensures that qualified responses are submitted during the national one-year evaluation. The Guangdong Free Trade Zone, positioned as an important hub of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, will increase its reform and innovation efforts in connecting with the international high standard investment and trade rule system, accelerate the establishment of a market-oriented, internationalized, and legal development environment, form more reform and innovation experiences, and accelerate promotion.
  In addition to the previously approved four pilot free trade zones, several other provinces have once again expressed their positive attitude towards applying for free trade zones: Jiangxi takes advantage of its geographical advantages, actively connects with the development of the three major free trade zones in Shanghai, Fujian, and Guangdong, and actively applies for the construction of the Jiangxi Free Trade Zone; Yunnan, taking advantage of its border advantages, is preparing to establish a pilot free trade zone along the border.
