  • China's Postal Services
    Studies on the Changing Postal Marketplace: Vol. 1 China’s Postal Services: Which Path Forward? Jessica Ciccone Adams and Don Soifer June 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY T his report represents the first in a series examining the postal and delivery sectors of the world’s major economies. It focuses on China’s postal services, market dynamics and the extent to which the needs of household and business consumers are being met. China was selected as the first post to review due to its significant market presence and growing influence, with China Post revenue exceeding 97 billion yuan (US $15 billion), and delivering nearly 2.4 billion pieces during the first half of 2012. While China Post has realized significant growth in both postal and non-postal revenue, it has largely ignored trends that have characterized the reform strategies of other national posts. For example: • Service standards such as those published by postal operators in most industrialized countries do not exist for China Post, whose annual report instead publishes numbers of complaints received and the results of customer surveys on satisfaction and perceptions of improvement. • Regulation by an independent regulatory authority, with delineated separation between operational and regulatory responsibilities. • Draft regulations introduced in 2013 would impose new fees on private delivery operators, with no evident link to the proceeds contributing to either improvements in service quality or increased liberalization to expand consumer options. • Deregulation of the postal monopoly. Laws that create and protect postal monopolies have tended to result in decreased delivery performance and increased costs, to the detriment of the consumer.

PRIME PROPERTY PORTFOLIO LOCATED AT STRATEGIC LOCATIONS IN HONG KONG AND THE PRC According to the Market Consultant Report, there is a growing shortage of modern logistics properties in Hong Kong and the PRC.

  • Administration's Paper on Redevelopment of the Air Mail
    LC Paper No. CB(4)645/20-21(01) For discussion on 22 March 2021 Legislative Council Panel on Economic Development Redevelopment of the Air Mail Centre of Hongkong Post PURPOSE This paper seeks Members’ support for Government’s plan to redevelop the Air Mail Centre (“AMC”) of Hongkong Post (“HKP”) located at the Hong Kong International Airport (“HKIA”) and the proposed financial arrangements. BACKGROUND 2. The AMC is the key postal infrastructure for handling all outbound, inbound and cross-border mail and transit airmail in Hong Kong. Opened in June 1998, it was built during the development of the HKIA, and was designed to handle mainly letter mails, which accounted for the majority of all mail items back in the 1990s. A location map of the AMC in the HKIA is at Annex A. 3. More than twenty years into its operation, the spatial limitation and configuration of the AMC has constrained its ability and adversely impacted on its operational efficiency to cope with the present day and future demands for handling air delivery and e-commerce traffic. More importantly, there is a need to equip the AMC with the latest technology, and to enhance its capacity in order for Hong Kong to positively contribute to developing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (“GBA”) as a postal and logistics hub for the country. 4. Against the above, in the 2018-19 Budget, the Financial Secretary announced that the Government would consider the redevelopment of the AMC to enhance its effiency and capacity. The 2018 Policy Address reiterated the need for HKP to boost the operating efficiency and handling capacity of the AMC with advanced equipment.
