Sichuan provincial government office issued guidance to accelerate integration
of transport corridors, logistics networks and data networks and to launch an
action to recruit and cultivate leading modern logistics firms. The policy seeks
to attract large domestic and international logistics and supply‑chain companies
to set up regional headquarters and marketing centers in Sichuan, and encourage
consolidation via M&A and equity partnerships. It mandates a joint-growth
program linking transport-logistics firms and manufacturers to develop
regionally competitive integrated logistics providers in multimodal transport,
supply‑chain services and international logistics. The guidance also directs
firms to accelerate upgrades to intelligent, green facilities and to expand into
smart logistics, cold‑chain and unmanned logistics and other specialized,
innovative niches.
