Plan can be seen as a follow-up to Internet Plus strategy, promoting integration, reducing waste

Major players in China's logistics industry are eyeing expansion following a decision by the central government to fully integrate the sector with the internet, boosting efficiency and reducing waste considerably.

The decision was made at an executive meeting of the State Council, which was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang on Wednesday. "The logistics industry is crucial, but an evident shortcoming in China's modern services," said a statement released after the meeting.
