Why is there a "logistics fever" in China?

Recognized as "the artery of national economic development and basic industry" of the logistics industry, in China is rapidly emerging and development. Gao Hucheng, vice minister of commerce in the recently held first China International Service Industry Conference Logistics Forum, said China's modern logistics industry after 20 years of development, has begun to take shape, and has become a stabilizing factor in pulling GDP growth and tertiary industry development, and has become a new hot spot for economic development and investment, which is of great significance to China's sustained economic development.　　　　After summarizing the history of logistics development in developed countries such as the United States and Japan, Li Xiaoxi, a famous economist, believes that the reasons for the emergence of logistics fever in China mainly come from six aspects.　　　　One of them is the power and difference of different processes of market-oriented reform. In the early 80s, when the concept of logistics was introduced into China, China was carrying out reforms in the field of circulation centered on commerce, and this reform has been carried out up to the present time, from the "three more and one less" to solving the problem of joint-venture retailing to the sale of all kinds of businesses in accordance with the international way to the present development of chain management. This reform has been carried out up to now. It can be said that the reform of China's commercial circulation has basically been completed. The reform of the material and transportation systems is now reaching a climax. Because of this, the concept of logistics, which is recognized by these industries and enterprises, has been expanding rapidly in the past few years, and has become the central concept of the reform of the circulation system and the operation of the circulation system.　　　　The second is the pressure generated by industrial restructuring and upgrading. China's economy has been undergoing structural adjustment and industrial upgrading over the years, and this wave has promoted the popularization of logistics. Logistics not only covers the field of circulation but also the fields of production and life, therefore, it is regarded as a new form of industrial organization, an emerging industry, and an emerging mode of industrial organization in the development of the contemporary market economy in the integration of industry, commerce and transportation, and therefore, it has become the target choice for the adjustment and upgrading of traditional industries.　　　　The third is the external pressure after China's accession to the WTO. The current logistics industry is developing towards globalization, internationalization and integration. The opening and development of a country's market will certainly require the opening and development of logistics. With the formation of the world commodity market, the logistics from each market to the final market is becoming increasingly globalized; at the same time, there are integration requirements for its demand, distribution and inventory management, all of which have become the direction of the development of the international logistics industry. After China's accession to the WTO, this driving force is accelerating.　　　　The fourth is the demand of China's continuous high economic growth. China's economy has been growing at a high rate for more than a decade, and has moved from a supply-constrained economy to a demand-constrained economy. China's current development of the demand generated by the demand and the huge potential demand for the supply side of the higher requirements, which also promotes the rapid development of a new type of "logistics industry".　　　　The fifth is the promotion of high technology. The development of information technology, so that the information system can run through the different enterprises, so that the function of logistics has undergone qualitative changes, greatly improving the efficiency of logistics, but also greatly promote the development and modernization of logistics.　　　　The sixth is the expectation and choice of new industries in regional development, especially urban modernization. All regions hope to achieve modernization as soon as possible, backward regions hope to accelerate development to catch up, we are looking for new economic growth point. At this time, logistics is the "third source of profit" that has attracted attention from all sides. The "third source of profit" argument originated in Japan, Japanese experts believe that, from the point of view of historical development, human history, there have been a large number of two areas to provide profits, the first is the field of resources, the second is the field of manpower. Now, the first two areas of profit potential is getting smaller and smaller, profit development is more and more difficult, in this case, the potential of the logistics field is being discovered, is valued, according to the time series arrangement it should be listed as the "third source of profit.
