She believes that China's foreign trade has entered a "new normal", from the past double-digit period and adjustment period to the new and old kinetic energy conversion period. Coupled with the impact of the epidemic, the rise of e-commerce trade has become a growth highlight. Conference data showed that in the first three quarters of this year, the total value of China's foreign trade imports and exports reached 28.33 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.7%. Foreign trade imports and exports have achieved positive growth for five consecutive quarters. In the first half of 2021, the scale of China's cross-border e-commerce market was 6.05 trillion yuan, and the annual market scale is expected to reach 14.6 trillion yuan.

Wu Man said that whether now or in the future, the certainty of logistics, which is composed of timeliness, cost and experience, is crucial. The certainty of cross-border logistics is inseparable from infrastructure construction and the development of digital technology.

" Cainiao's approach is, on the one hand, to continue to invest in the construction of overseas logistics infrastructure, such as the commissioning of eHub smart logistics hubs in Liege, Belgium and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia , and the construction and commissioning of 7 overseas distribution centers. On the other hand, it continues to promote the digitalization of the cross-border logistics industry, such as the research and development and application of digital customs clearance and smart equipment. Taking Cainiao's Lemo PDA as an example , it can accurately synchronize logistics details information , reduce the workload of operators and improve work efficiency. " Wu Man gave an example.

Combining logistics facilities and digital capabilities, Cainiao Global Parcel Network has created a unique smart order consolidation technology. When overseas consumers use the same address to place shopping orders at different stores on AliExpress, Cainiao uses smart order consolidation to collect packages from different merchants and merge them into one package to be delivered to consumers . The delivery time of ordinary mail routes in the past, which takes 30-50 days, has been upgraded to direct air routes within 20 days. In some areas, it can be upgraded to 10 days for US$5 .

Cainiao will continue to increase its investment in overseas logistics infrastructure construction, jointly build a global digital aviation logistics network with partners, and provide better logistics solutions for cross-border merchants through more digital technologies, such as shortening package rollover time based on overall order volume forecasts, creating better transportation costs, and enhancing product competitiveness .

In March 2021, Cainiao International's average daily cross-border parcel volume exceeded 5 million pieces, continuing to rank among the top four in the world. Among them, the "5 US dollars in 10 days" logistics product has covered 20 countries around the world, including Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, etc., allowing more merchants to deliver to the world with the money for a cup of coffee.

It is understood that this conference is the "Second China Aviation Logistics Industry Annual Conference" hosted by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, and organized by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing Aviation Logistics Branch and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing E-commerce Logistics and Express Branch. Cui Zhongfu, Vice President and Secretary-General of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing, and Wang Weijun, Director of the Aviation Logistics Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China's Transport Department, attended the conference.
