China Post contributes to rural revitalization
|China Post News|2022-06-13

As a “national team” in the postal industry, China Post focuses on the country's top priorities, and expands its overall contributions to rural revitalization in both scale and extent. In this practice, postal branches in different provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have been striving to make progress and bear new fruits.

At Shibadong village, Huayuan county, Xiangxi Tujia-Miao autonomous prefecture, Hunan province, China Post is one of the first enterprises that has been there to lift the villagers out of poverty. It has established a “Shibadong” poverty alleviation post office, which sells local specialties  and handicrafts made by the villagers. Rural postmen deliver mail to every household, and then take their cured meat and sewed handicrafts to the outside world. Every year, Shibadong Post Office donates 18% of its revenue to assist the rural collective economy of the village. In the past 6 years, it has donated 210,000 yuan (about 31,400 US dollars). This post office has now become a bastion for China Post in its efforts of poverty alleviation and benefiting farmers in this Miao village.

It has innovatively launched new cooperation models of postal enterprises with authorities related to agriculture and rural affairs, transportation, commerce, human resources and social security as well as tax. Sichuan Postal Branch has piloted projects that benefit farmers in 6 counties including Ya'an, Hanyuan and so on, and explored models of postal enterprises in boosting the high-quality development of farmers' cooperatives. It has joined hands with Sichuan Postal Administration to pilot post-express cooperation in Ziyang city and explored the path of last-mile joint delivery. Together with the Department of Transportation of Sichuan Province, it has piloted cooperation between postal enterprise and local authorities of transportation and commerce in Jiang'an of Yibin city, and explored an effective vehicle for the integration and interoperation of passenger, mail and freight transportation networks: the yellow vehicles, which have become a vehicle for rural revitalization that integrates the functions of buses, postal and express vans as well as freight vehicles. Together with the Department of Commerce of Sichuan Province, it has piloted rural e-commerce in Santai of Mianyang city, and explored the effective way of online and offline coordinated development.  It has taken over all agency delivery of items addressed to townships and villages within Yajiang county from the five private express companies including STO Express, ZTO Express, YTO Express, Yunda Express and J&T Express, the daily agency delivery volume reaching about 800 items. Today, the post-express cooperated last-mile delivery has covered 100% counties (districts) and 83% administrative villages within Sichuan province, the peak volume of daily agency delivery having exceeded 200,000 items.
