Shortcomings and development suggestions of my country's international logistics supply chain

The shortcomings of my country's international logistics supply chain are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Shortcomings Analysis

Insufficient control over international logistics

As the world's largest exporter of finished products and importer of bulk raw materials, my country has obvious characteristics of "large import and export" of goods. However, what is inconsistent with its status as a major trading country is that my country's control over international cargo transportation is seriously insufficient. Exports generally adopt the form of FOB (free on board) trade, and export goods are delivered at Chinese ports. my country's logistics companies only provide basic domestic transportation services, while high value-added service income such as international transportation, insurance, and overseas customs declaration is often obtained by foreign logistics companies.

International logistics service capabilities need to be improved

Compared with the developed cargo collection service network of international logistics companies in my country, my country's logistics companies rarely have their own terminal service network abroad. This makes it difficult for my country's logistics companies to provide standardized, one-order full-process multimodal transport services, and it is difficult to meet the international market's demand for efficient and convenient logistics services.

Imperfect international logistics supply chain system

my country's international logistics supply chain system still has the problem of poor cross-regional flow, and the global supply chain is facing reconstruction. At the same time, the "hard connectivity" (such as channels, hubs, etc.) and "soft connectivity" (such as services, platforms, mechanisms, etc.) of my country's international logistics supply chain system still need to be strengthened and improved.

Weak ability to formulate and lead international logistics rules

my country's current international logistics system has insufficient control over the flow of strategic elements and resources such as cross-border e-commerce standards, rules, information, and data, and its ability to formulate and lead international logistics rules needs to be strengthened. This limits my country's voice and influence in the field of international logistics.

2. Development Suggestions

Strengthen the ability to control international logistics

Encourage and support my country's logistics companies to "go global", establish their own terminal service network overseas, and provide full multimodal transport services. At the same time, strengthen cooperation and exchanges with foreign logistics companies to enhance my country's influence and voice in the field of international logistics.

Improve international logistics service capabilities

Increase investment and R&D efforts in international logistics services to improve the service quality and efficiency of my country's logistics companies. Promote logistics companies to develop in the direction of intelligence, greening, and standardization, and improve the international competitiveness of my country's logistics companies.

Improve the international logistics supply chain system

Strengthen cooperation and exchanges with countries and regions related to the international logistics supply chain, and jointly build an efficient and convenient international logistics supply chain system. Promote international cooperation projects such as the "Belt and Road" construction, and strengthen the construction and interconnection of international logistics channels and hubs. At the same time, strengthen the risk warning and emergency management mechanism construction of the international logistics supply chain, and improve the ability to respond to emergencies.

Actively participate in the formulation of international logistics rules

Strengthen cooperation and exchanges with international logistics organizations and relevant countries, and actively participate in the formulation and revision of international logistics rules. Promote the establishment of a fair, just and transparent international logistics rules system to create favorable conditions for the development of my country's logistics companies in the international market.

Promote the digital transformation of the logistics supply chain

Use modern information technology means such as big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things to promote the digital transformation of the logistics supply chain. Improve the transparency and traceability of the logistics supply chain through digital means, reduce operating costs, and improve service efficiency and quality.

my country's international logistics supply chain has shortcomings in terms of control capabilities, service capabilities, system perfection and rule formulation. In order to enhance the competitiveness and influence of my country's international logistics supply chain, it is necessary to take a series of measures to strengthen international cooperation and exchanges, improve service quality and efficiency, improve system construction and actively participate in the formulation of international rules.
