China's Xizang reports steady growth in courier services in 2024
LHASA, March 9 (Xinhua) -- The postal service sector in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region saw steady growth in parcels handled in 2024, according to the region's postal administration.
The regional postal service volume surged to 202.9 million parcels last year, up 5.88 percent year on year, according to the latest data from the administration.
The income of the postal service reached 1.2 billion yuan (about 167 million U.S. dollars), a year-on-year increase of 19.06 percent. Of that total, revenue from the region's express services came in at 812 million yuan, up 22.4 percent year on year, the data shows.
Behind these booming delivery services are decades of efforts to improve livelihoods and transportation in Xizang, the only provincial-level region in China where road construction is fully funded by the central government.
