Global connectivity and global mobility are a major feature of the world today. In recent years, China has significantly increased its position in the global connection and flow pattern, increasing its influence, but the ability to connect the world to the world power needs to be enhanced. China should firmly grasp the new characteristics of the changes in globalization and international pattern, closely around the new era of China's globalization strategy and the global production, circulation and trade needs, in line with the principle of "altruistic symbiosis, sharing and sharing, mutual benefit and win-win" principle, strengthening the strategic docking with each country, and building the "one band and one way" as an opportunity to build " The global logistics and supply chain service system with China as the core, connecting all continents of the world and achieving the main target market.
The world enters the era of global connection
Globalization calls for closer links among countries, such as transportation, logistics, information and communications, Internet, finance, culture and institutions. In the past few decades, the developed countries and regions, such as the US, Europe and Japan, have focused on global markets and the global allocation of resources, leading global connections and promoting the global flow of elements, goods and services.
In 2013, China became the world's largest cargo trading country, and China's domestic logistics market ranked first in the world. However, China is not a powerful logistics power. The logistics performance indicators issued by the World Bank show that China is a leader in the developing countries in terms of infrastructure, logistics capability, shipping capacity, customs clearance efficiency, cargo tracking, and timeliness, but many backward developed countries. McKinsey's research shows that the United States and Germany are the most powerful countries in the world, and China's global connectivity is only half that of them. The construction of China international air cargo network, international express delivery network and cross border warehousing and distribution system is still in its infancy. China lacks the right to speak in the formulation of international logistics service standards.
China connects the world
Conception of global logistics system
Strategic objectives. Establish Chinese connected with surrounding countries and regions covering "The Belt and Road along the country as well as major countries of the target market of logistics service network, the formation of a high standard of global logistics service capability, the strong support of the Chinese global production, circulation and trade. By the middle of twenty-first Century, China became the strongest country in the world in terms of connectivity and logistics capabilities.
Strategic task. China's global logistics system linking the world consists of four pillars and eight pillars. "Four beams", namely, the global logistics information system, the global logistics standard system, the global logistics policy system and the global logistics operation system. "Eight columns", namely international railway transport network, international road transport network, international air freight network, international shipping network, international pipeline network, international postal and express network, international warehousing network and international distribution network (as shown in the picture).
The construction of an international railway freight network. Taking China as the starting point, the northeast is connected to Russia, Mongolia, Japan and South Korea, and the northwest is connected to Europe, West Asia and Africa, and the south-west is connected to the Central South Peninsula, India and Pakistan. We should strengthen international railway transport cooperation with major countries in the Pacific, the Atlantic and India oceans. To build up China Railway trade channel, energy channel and communication channel, promote China railway technical standards, technical equipment, engineering construction, operation management and the related industries to the world, and build a reasonable international railway freight network with reasonable layout, standard application, safe and efficient.
China's global logistics system architecture
Improve the international shipping network.To improve China's shipping routes and the global port layout, enhance the maritime transport capacity between China and the trade partner countries (regions), and promote the interoperability of China's maritime infrastructure with other countries. The sea route density between China and the developed economies is enhanced, and the shipping liner routes between China and the emerging economies of Asia, Africa and Latin America are strengthened, and the routes of the Arctic and Antarctic sea areas are opened up. We should strengthen the integration of global port and terminal resources and improve the layout of China's overseas port terminals. We will improve the main cargo shipping systems in China's coastal areas such as coal, oil, ore, grain and containers. We should actively participate in the investment, construction and operation of international maritime infrastructure and expand the international shipping cooperation network. We should strengthen the construction of the international shipping center of China. We will promote the opening and development of maritime transport, actively participate in global maritime administration and strengthen the capability of ensuring safety in international shipping lanes.
Improve the international road freight network. We will improve the highway access system between China and its neighboring countries and take an active part in the construction of the Asian Highway transport system and the global road transport system. To improve the connectivity of Chinese and Belt and Road Initiative along the main national highway network, the formation of "The Belt and Road" international road transport channel. It is widely involved in the "whole chain" link of overseas highway infrastructure design, consultation, construction and operation.
Improve the international air freight network. Promote the integration of air cargo between China and neighboring countries. We will increase the density of routes between China and developed economies and increase the international routes between China and Asia, Africa and Latin America. To enhance the function of China's international air cargo hub airport and realize the operation of international air cargo trans continental multi hub network. We should strengthen the strategic layout of overseas air cargo airports and aviation logistics centers. Support air cargo, aviation logistics, air express enterprises to deepen cooperation with international professional service institutions.
Improve the international pipeline network. On the basis of promoting the interconnection and interconnection of domestic pipelines, we should further strengthen China's international pipeline links with major oil and gas suppliers, transit countries, transit countries and consuming countries. We will focus on promoting the interconnection and interconnection of oil and gas pipelines between China and Central Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia and Northeast Asia. We should improve the construction of offshore oil and gas import channels. To promote the building of common energy markets, oil and gas trading and pricing centers in China and neighboring countries. We should improve the construction of the international oil and gas reserve bank.
Build a global express, warehousing and distribution network.Speed up the international express network layout, encrypt the express network between China and important international cities, and open up the express lines between China and most countries in the world. Courier companies are encouraged to expand international service networks by setting up branches, joint ventures, and principal-agent. We will support the construction of a number of international express delivery centers and improve the layout of international mail processing centers. Deployment of overseas storage network system and distribution network system.
Construction of international multimodal transport system and integrated logistics hub. Extensive international rail and sea multimodal transport, rail and public transport, rail and air transport, public water transport and river and sea combined transport are widely developed. Efforts will be made to build an international multimodal transport system with efficient connection of facilities, rapid transfer of hub, information sharing, equipment standards and service integration. We will improve the management system of multimodal transport operators and set up a multimodal transport service standard covering all aspects of transportation, packaging, transfer, loading and unloading, and information. To support the technical transformation of facilities for multimodal transport and special facilities for rapid transit facilities. The international integrated logistics hub, which integrates the functions of customs declaration, international transportation, multimodal transport, storage processing, information processing, cross-border e-commerce and other functions, is constructed.
Construction of global logistics operation and supply chain service system. Relying on the global logistics capability of China, we will promote international transportation and logistics enterprises to cooperate with cargo owners, manufacturers, circulation enterprises, trade enterprises, financial enterprises, Internet enterprises and other related enterprises to strengthen information technology, digital technology and intelligent technology to strengthen information docking, co development and co development. Enjoy business opportunities, form global supply chain service capabilities, and build a win-win global logistics and supply chain ecosystem.
Building a global logistics information integrated service platform. To speed up the promotion of information and digital level of Chinese logistics enterprises, according to the concept of "unified standard, open, interconnected, interconnected and shared services", the global logistics information integrated service platform is constructed to provide logistics enterprises with real-time online information of international logistics operation, and optimize the allocation and operation control of international logistics resources.
Guarantee measures to improve the construction of the global logistics system
A relatively friendly and win-win international environment is crucial to the construction of the global logistics system. It is necessary to uphold the concept of "open, inclusive and win-win" and to promote the construction of the global logistics system by "multi-layer international logistics cooperation object, diversified international logistics cooperation mode, multi-channel international logistics cooperation form, multi field international logistics cooperation content, multi task international logistics cooperation process".
We should strengthen strategic docking and policy communication with other countries and actively participate in global transportation, logistics and customs control. Deeply participate in the formulation and revision of relevant international rules and standards. Participate in global energy governance and promote international oil and gas pipeline interconnection. We should strengthen the construction of bilateral and multilateral transport cooperation mechanisms with the neighboring countries, promote the docking with international general transport laws and regulations and technical standards, and eliminate institutional barriers to cross-border transport. We should strengthen cooperation with the customs of various countries, establish a "single window" at frontier port and promote the development of electronic customs and authorization system for economic operators, reduce the cost of customs clearance, shorten the transfer time and facilitate the convenience of customs clearance. Together with all countries, a unified global logistics policy coordination mechanism will be established to promote international customs clearance, replacement and multimodal transport, and promote the formation of a global logistics policy system with compatible norms.
Strengthen the fund guarantee and innovate the way of financing. We should further improve the multi-channel, multi-level and diversified investment and financing mode of state investment, local financing, social financing and international capital. Financial and tax support should be given to major construction projects and zero tax or tax exemption should be implemented. We will increase financial support for leading logistics enterprises and innovative logistics enterprises.
Support logistics enterprises to integrate international resources. Support logistics enterprises to exploit and utilize the international market and international resources, and continuously expand the international development space. Support the advantage of logistics enterprises joint or equity participation, acquisition and merger of other countries logistics enterprises, extend the service network. The government departments should simplify the project examination and approval procedures and improve the policies of credit, foreign exchange, finance and taxation, and the entry and exit of personnel, and support the qualified logistics enterprises in the capital injection and foreign exchange use of foreign investment.
