Director notes need for full logistics chain

Despite challenges from the global economy, China's logistics industry has maintained stable growth in 2011, said He Liming, director of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.

He said first half-year revenue generated by the logistics sector reached 74.4 trillion yuan, a 13.7 percent increase over the same period last year.

Fixed asset investment also grew significantly, but "it increased at slower rate" than it has over the previous decade.
