"As a large platform for gathering global high-tech products and making close contact with Chinese enterprises, the radiation and spillover effects of the Expo are obvious to all." During the holding of the fifth Expo, Jiang Qian, president of UPS China, said that this year is the fifth consecutive year that UPS has participated in the Expo. He hoped to further consolidate UPS's determination to enable Chinese enterprises to accelerate the layout of the international trade market by relying on UPS's logistics and transportation strength and diversified innovative solutions. At the same time, since its business in China in 1988, UPS has been committed to helping enterprises master favorable policies and go to sea efficiently.

At this Expo, UPS brought the latest market research report, "Smooth Intraregional Trade in Asia". The report analyzes in detail the opportunities and potential disadvantages of intra regional trade in Asia in the next decade. At the same time, the report suggests that Chinese enterprises can seize opportunities and avoid risks from three aspects, including strengthening cooperation with SMEs and promoting their deep integration with regional supply chains, fully realizing digital operations, and actively supporting and making good use of various policies to expand business opportunities.

In addition, with the implementation of China's "dual carbon" goal, UPS has also taken corresponding "green initiatives" in many fields based on its sustainable development strategy of "rooting in China and serving China", such as insisting on promoting the construction of green operation outlets, increasing the proportion of new energy vehicles, optimizing traditional express packaging schemes, etc. At the booth of the Expo, UPS showed the audience a number of green packaging solutions including "slimming tape", recycled transit bags and biodegradable express bags, as well as new energy vehicles and smart energy initiatives and achievements.

UPS's global network advantage is also a highlight of the Expo. In recent years, China has continuously improved its level of opening up to the outside world, and created development opportunities with the world. The signing and entry into force of a number of trade agreements has laid a solid foundation for common prosperity. As a promoter of global trade, UPS has continuously built and improved its logistics infrastructure, constantly increased its investment in the Chinese market, continuously widened the international trade logistics channels for Chinese enterprises, and helped Chinese international trade enterprises better grasp trade opportunities.

It is understood that UPS has opened international freight routes connecting Shenzhen, China, to Cologne, Germany, and Bangalore, India this year, further improving the air freight transport capacity from South China to Europe and the Asia Pacific region, so as to help enterprises better expand the European and Asia Pacific markets. In addition, UPS also optimized its service network coverage in nearly ten provinces and cities in China, adding more than 1300 service postal codes, shortening the transit time of goods import and export in more than 1600 postal code regions by up to two days, providing more service convenience for more Chinese local enterprises, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, and improving their competitiveness in the local and international trade markets.

It is worth noting that, affected by the COVID-19, the global online consumption demand has surged in the past two years, bringing new opportunities for enterprises, but also putting forward higher requirements for the digital capabilities of Chinese enterprises. In this regard, UPS not only demonstrated the optimized application of supply chain and various digital tools for customs clearance and distribution management, but also set up a special area to display its convenient and flexible WeChat mail service. In the face of the trend of digital transformation, UPS continues to drive innovation with science and technology, and is committed to helping Chinese enterprises reduce costs, operate efficiently and flexibly, and benefit the development of international trade.
