So far, a total of 30 billion deliveries has been made this year, up 53 percent year on year, continuing its leading position in the world, the bureau said.

Courier business revenue was over 354.4 billion yuan (US$51 billion) in the first 11 months of 2016, up 44.3 percent year on year, the bureau said.

Bureau data showed 20.65 billion parcels were delivered in 2015, up 48 percent from 2014.
