ABSTRACT: The
purpose of this paper is to explore the current state of China’s logistics
development and the future development. In order to fulfill the research objective,
a literature-based survey and content analysis is used to investigate the
development level of China’s logistics research, also, second-hand data based
statistical analysis is used as the main method to study the development of
Chinese logistics in this paper. While every effort has been made to ensure
that the most up-to-date data is available in the analysis, this is not always
possible due to the obvious reasons for data scarcity and data integrity. Despite
the improvements and progress made by the government and other agencies, the
current logistics infrastructure, especially the transportation network,
customs procedures and warehousing facilities are still lacking. Future
developments are also highlighted to portray an accurate assessment of China’s
logistics situation. This is the latest comprehensive research on the
development of China’s logistics in the known scope. It provides an opportunity
for companies that want to enter the Chinese market to understand the
development of China’s logistics.
