Thank you, Mr. Feng. Now please welcome Mr. Ma Junsheng, head of the State Post Bureau.
Ma Junsheng:
Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the press, good afternoon. Just now Minister Li gave a general introduction to the transport achievements during the 13th Five-Year Plan period. Now I'd like to add a few points about the development of the postal sector in the past five years, by using a set of data.
Over the past five years, the revenue of the entire postal industry has grown from $403.9 billion in 2015 to $1.1 trillion, a five-year net increase of $700 billion, with an annual growth rate of 22 percent.
Secondly, over the past five years, the industry has created more than one million new jobs, with an annual growth of 200,000.
Third, the annual business volume of express deliveries increased from 20.7 billion in 2015 to over 80 billion this year, quadrupling in five years. Our country's parcel delivery volume exceeds that of the United States, Japan, Europe and other developed economies combined, and our contribution to the world CEP market exceeds 50 percent.
Fourth, the annual number of postal uses grew from 70 billion in 2015 to 150 billion this year.
Fifth, the postal service network has achieved full coverage above the administrative village level, with express delivery outlets reaching 98 percent of the towns and townships. The self-operated international express delivery network now serves more than 60 countries and regions. The industry-wide number of cargo planes for domestic express delivery increased from 71 to 130. More than 400,000 smart boxes for express delivery have come into service.
Sixth, the overall comprehensive strength of enterprises in the sector has increased significantly. China Post Group Corporation ranks 90th among the world's Fortune 500 companies. Seven express delivery companies have been listed through restructuring, among which three branded ones exceeded 100 billion yuan in their business revenue this year. That's all. Thank you.
