Chinese Shipping Companies Reinvent Global Logistics

Recently, Sino-US trade frictions have heated up again. The US government announced additional tariffs on key export commodities such as Chinese electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and photovoltaic products, and the tense situation in the global supply chain has further escalated. With stable channels in the European and American markets, if Chinese companies want to achieve sustained growth and cross cycles, opening up routes to emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America has become a key breakthrough in solving the “foreign trade uncertainty.”

Against this background, Chinese shipping companies are accelerating their globalization. They are not only transport executors, but also an important driving force for China’s manufacturing to go overseas. In particular, professional logistics companies such as Shenzhen FLY LOGISTICS are helping Chinese companies achieve a more efficient and flexible international layout with their intelligent systems, one-stop services, and global dedicated line networks.

New opportunities for Chinese shipping under intensified trade frictions

The escalation of Sino-US trade frictions has not only brought challenges but also accelerated the reconstruction of the global logistics landscape. In the “new normal” of global port congestion, tight shipping capacity, and rising costs, Chinese shipping companies have demonstrated super resilience and adaptability with their strong resource integration capabilities and supply chain collaboration efficiency.

By optimizing the transportation structure and accelerating digital transformation, these companies are becoming important participants in the new international trade order, and have also opened up new channels to the world for Chinese foreign trade export companies.

Air logistics accelerates the layout, and leading companies seize the opportunity.

To cope with the complex and changing global logistics environment, China’s leading logistics companies have increased their investment in the field of air logistics:

• SF Express: Investing in the construction of Chengdu Western Air Cargo Hub, which will greatly enhance its “national 12-hour delivery” capability after completion in 2025;
• JD Logistics: Through the “Global Network Plan”, 2,000+ air routes have been opened, and the fleet will be expanded to 114 in the future.
• YTO Express: Investing 15.22 billion yuan to build the “Oriental Heaven and Earth Port”, with a planned throughput capacity of more than 1.1 million tons in 2030;
• ZTO Express: Plans to gradually deploy dedicated cargo aircraft from 2025 to enhance air transport service capabilities.

These layouts have accelerated the industry’s evolution towards “high timeliness + internationalization + intelligence”, and also promoted the growth of demand for customized and differentiated logistics services among small and medium-sized enterprises.
