Build A Modern Logistics System And Build A Unified National Market

CCTV News (News Broadcast): General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the circulation system plays a fundamental role in the national economy, and to build a new development pattern, the construction of a modern circulation system must be regarded as an important strategic task. At present, our country is accelerating the construction of an efficient and convenient logistics network that connects internal and external areas, and strives to lay the foundation for a modern circulation system to provide strong support for accelerating the construction of a unified national market and promoting high-quality development.
At the beginning of the new year, mobile China is full of vitality. The newly built sorting workshop next to the orchard of Jade Bird Village in Yangshuo, Guangxi is extremely busy. The oranges are classified and packaged as soon as they fall off the branches, and are sent directly to Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other places. Two thousand kilometers away in Yanchi, Ningxia, the cold chain workshop next to the pasture has just been expanded. Fresh mutton can be delivered to tables in Shenzhen, Yunnan and other places as soon as 24 hours. In Pingyu County, Henan, foreign trade goods that have just rolled off the production line can be directly exported to more than 60 countries in Europe and the United States by taking the nearby sea-rail combined transport train.

The increasingly dense logistics network makes commercial circulation burst with vitality. In 2023, the total amount of logistics in the whole society is expected to reach 350 trillion yuan. Modern logistics connects production on one end and consumption on the other. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has made greater efforts to promote the construction and improvement of a high-quality modern circulation system, focusing on opening up the "major arteries" and smoothing the "microcirculation".
At present, my country has basically formed a modern logistics operation system of "channels + hubs + networks", which continues to stimulate the vitality of China's large market. The construction of strategic backbone channels such as the coastal logistics corridor and the Western Land-Sea Corridor has been accelerated. 66 national backbone cold chains have been established. Logistics bases cover the country, with refrigeration and preservation facilities in 75,000 production areas adding more than 18 million tons of storage capacity, more than 1,400 counties have established e-commerce service centers, and nearly 200,000 villages have express delivery outlets. At the same time, the national logistics hub continues to expand and improve its quality. In 2023, 30 new ones will be added across the country, bringing the total to 125. Not only does the spatial layout continue to expand to the central and western regions, but its functions are also deeply integrated with modern service industries and advanced manufacturing industries.
