Sichuan provincial government issued implementation opinions to accelerate
integration of corridor, logistics and data networks and to build an efficient,
resilient modern logistics service network. The plan directs support for Chengdu
to upgrade international logistics service capacity, reinforce its role as a
national logistics hub and a national backbone cold‑chain logistics base, and
deepen efforts to shore up and strengthen national comprehensive freight hubs.
It calls for accelerating Chengdu’s development as a global international postal
and express hub and improving hub connectivity, transfer and aggregation
functions. Authorities will boost operating efficiency of China‑Europe (Asia)
freight trains, Western Land‑Sea New Corridor trains, Yangtze River trains,
Greater Bay Area trains and northbound trains; enhance logistics organization
along Beijing–Kunming, Chengdu–Chongqing and riverside corridors; and strengthen
supply‑assurance capacity on strategic routes to Xinjiang and Tibet. The plan
mandates a province‑wide single logistics network map aligned with industry
clusters, trade flows and tourism consumption, accelerates construction of Belt
and Road import‑export commodity distribution centers and specialty import hubs
(eg, salmon, durian), and speeds up smart port construction and customs
facilitation to improve clearance convenience.
