Dear MEL Topic Readers,

High-speed trains boost cargo capacity for Singles Day spree

China’s two world’s-number-one things are collaborating more this year. China’s high-speed railway services started in 2008 and now has a network of over 36,000 km to cover most major cities around the country. The longest line reaches Kunming from Beijing in 12-13 hours to cover the distance of 2,760 km. Also, China has the world’s largest online shopping event, called The Singles Day, or Double 11, which starts on November 11 each year. Chinese shoppers spent over $200 billion during the last year’s 10-day event period. You can imagine how many goods were transported and delivered during and after the shopping spree.

Now, this year’s event adds ten more days to boost sales and the economy. The bottleneck is the logistics. So, China Railway Corporation is running more than 600 railway routes and 1,000 bullet trains to transport e-commerce goods to more than 80 cities this year. Will this collaboration help transport goods more smoothly and swiftly or the growth of demands exceed the increased capacity?

Enjoy reading the article and learn how to make use of already-built infrastructures to boost businesses.
